Hello On Saturday August 27th 2022 I was driving west on Route 30 in Mattson IL, when I observe smoke coming from the front of my bike. After driving pass a traffic light, I pull over to the right the road and tried to stop my bike applied the brakes and the paddle went straight to the floor. The bike would not stop and I hit the curb. Thankfully I was not injured doing this incident. I’ m report this possible deadly incident because after speaking with some Master Mechanics whom diagnose the problem as the brake line completely dethatched from the compression fitting secured to brake assembly. They indicated to me the brake line dethatched from a new 2022 bike with low miles is highly …

When entering a left hand turn at moderate speed, the vehicle will go into a lurching, bucking, hesitation period, usually when under slight or moderate acceleration. This results in an uncontrolled wobble that will eventually smooth out but can also result in a sudden burst of power that tends to rapidly propel the vehicle further to the left unless the throttle is quickly relaxed. Hard to describe, but the sensation feels like you are being “squirted” out of the turn. I first noticed this barely a month after I took possession of the machine and thought it might be a normal handling trait. As I became more acquainted with the various user’s groups, I find it was not normal and a much more …

Vehicle developed right wheel wobble on left turns over 90 degrees, when speed is ~40 mph or above. Unable to safely make turn, at speed. 3 trips to dealership, issue persists. Vehicle threw a “VSS fault” and went into “limp mode” preventing me from driving over 40mph - was in the mountains, 60 miles from home. Serious safety issue, feel unsafe on the vehicle, no longer willing to ride.

Vehicle repeatedly goes in to limp mode for VSS faults related to steering codes. Dealers are unable to repair and report that many other of the same model have the same problem. Many other owners in the online community report the same issue with no fix in sight. The vehicle is essentially unusable and the manufacturer does not appear to have any intent to remedy the situation.

Bike intermittently goes into limp mode for VSS fault and codes related to the steering rate/yaw sensor. Had the problem confirmed and the manufacturer-recommended steering upgrade done by local Can-am dealer but the VSS fault and limp mode still happens, intermittently. My understanding, from reading forums online, is that this is a very common issue. I would rather they turn the VSS system off entirely than than have the vehicle be nearly unusable at random intervals. Getting slowed down to a max speed of 50 mph here in AZ where most of the highway speeds are 65 mph or higher, with no warning, is quite dangerous and nerve-wracking. I live right off of a 65 mph highway so driving a bike …

The issue with my 2022 rally my dealership said they can recalibrate the sensor but this is the 2nd time it has been braking. I was coming home and on sharp curves roads it start to brake left but turning right was fine i was able to go around 50mph but going left it was slowing me down to 10-35mph i even had a guy in a BMW tailgate me because my bike would slow down. This is extremely dangerous and can get me killed.
