2022 Can Am Ryker 600 Review. Up close with all the features and differences from past Rykers.

[@rickeybillingsley6796]

I love my 600...I bought it back in August for my bday...

[@tankoil]

How much did you pay?

[@rickeybillingsley6796]

@@tankoil round 9k

[@tankoil]

Thanks!

[@genegoodwin8925]

The air filter you showed is not for the engine, but for the transmission. As far as the brakes, I just drove a Ryker 100 miles and in my opinion it had very weak brakes. I've never drove any motorcycle with such weak brakes. I had to leave plenty of space between me and the vehicles in front of me. I am in hopes the pads will wear in and get better. The 2022 model I just brought did not have floor boards, but pegs. Still a blast to ride.

[@leeridefar]

Gene. Thanks for the correct info about the air filter. It may be worth checking out your Ryker. I do get new units every year and braking has never been a problem with them. The physics of the two wheels up front and the strong brakes make it stop quickly.

[@dareelamb1964]

I’m still on the fence on getting one of these. I like the ride and looks and I’m not worried about screaming down the hwy. I think my biggest issue is cost. Now, since I only rode around a parking lot do I need a special training course? Great video

[@leeridefar]

BRP Can Am subsidizes the training cost to get more riders into it. Check out what your options are locally. The repetition of course puts it into muscle memory. Ask the school if they’ll take you on the road too. If not it is manageable to do it on your own. Just practice what’s on the video.

[@MoniJohnson]

Unless you are referring the to angle those floorboards can be adjusted without tools. The left side lifts just like the original pegs. The right dos too but you have to push the brake pedal slightly to the left for clearance. Once you lift the floorboards to the "vertical" position they slide back and forth.

[@leeridefar]

Thank you. They are difficult to move.

[@rickfinley1436]

Jut FYI for about $60 you can get electronic lock from Can Am... It locks the frunk unless bike is awake....

[@leeridefar]

Good to know but why not put it on out of the factory…

[@chrisfaircloth9078]

There are a few fundamental changes that could be made but I guess that would eat into the 900 and Spyder Markets. Like you've indicated LED lights should at least be standard though - that magnet port thing should have a cover on in - or better yet just get rid if it altogether its not the security feature its touted to be - handle bar guards, bigger floorboards, led lights, a handbrake instead of just a foot brake, sway bar upgrade, maybe shocks... the 600 is okay if you want to keep it stock, but considering the upgrades to make it better you might as well look at the 900 or a Spyder anyway?

[@leeridefar]

If you start with the 600 and want a few things it can go from $15k to $30k real quick!

[@gregoryh7929]

Love these reviews. If / When they produce an electric version, that’s when I’m in!

[@leeridefar]

Yes. The size of the Riker and the spider make it a good candidate for a good electric motor and battery. It should work very well.

[@bb-ballistics1706]

Sounds like a yawn fest. Make a two stroke model and I'm in.

[@roywalls5595]

I think 🤔 it will run very good on long distance riding because I upgrade it! 😊

[@danielbarrios8947]

Just did the math on the mpg based on what you said (20 liters will give you about 200 kilometers) which translated means 5.28 gallons will give you 125 miles. If you are right about this then it actually sucks big time because you would be getting only about 23-24mpg. I get better gas mileage out of my VW CC R-line!!!

[@leeridefar]

You are correct. Don’t buy this to save gas.

[@TraveladvRajanSRai]

Gas cost more in Canada but free health care

[@leeridefar]

Very true

[@Cdrivethp]

My Ryker 2022 Sport frunk locks!

[@leeridefar]

Not the Canadian ones!

[@deanjasso174]

You did say was I missing anything, yes you forgot to mention that these breakdown all the time with the VSS code. And that it is a nightmare to find a good mechanic that can figure out what is wrong mine's been in the shop four times they are finally figuring out that the bushings are the problem, or maybe a wiring harness they are not sure! My problems are not isolated there are many videos and records of problems with these units think twice before you buy one!

[@leeridefar]

I am glad you mentioned this. I’ve been teaching on Can-Am Ryker’s for three years and have not had this issue at all. None of my students have said anything about it either. So I will start to ask some questions. If there’s more evidence of it I will mention it in my Can-Am Ryker 900 review

[@dylanbeckley7400]

Caused by you resting your foot on the brake.

[@lildaddy3030]

Been thinking of getting either a 600 or 900. I think you said the 600 doesn't handle highway speeds very well. I've seen other videos where the riders say it handles 75 and 80 pretty well depending on the weight of the rider. I watched a guy who said he was 235 get it up to almost 90 mph. Do you find that to not be true? What speed does the 600 start to struggle in your experience?

[@leeridefar]

It’s not that it struggles but now you’re at the upper range of RPMs and your fuel mileage will be awful. Long sustained rides on the highway is better done on the 900.

[@leeridefar]

The 600 and 900 are fine at higher speeds but it is tiring. The three wheels grip the ground very good and it’s harder to hold on. A little bump on the highway can really move you around.

[@wyattnewton2633]

Is this a good ride for a starter? Wanting to get into riding. I've got bad hips and I'm considering this or a goldwing trike

[@wyattnewton2633]

I've road motocross bikes for some years so I've got enough experience to know what I'm doing

[@leeridefar]

With your previous experience, this will be very easy for you to ride

[@RichClark-fk6qw]

Have they come up with a fix for the sometimes problematic VSS fault codes?

[@leeridefar]

Not that I know of

[@rogergress9520]

Just a great review !

[@bullsback23]

What Ryker model is that because I have the Ryker 900 2023 or 2022 and there's no funnel, keys for parking brake or fuel tank key ?

[@leeridefar]

That was a 2022. I’ve noticed there is inconsistencies with the models even if they are the same model year.

[@elestromusicgamesfun1101]

Wait, so on a full tank of 20L it has a range of 200km? That would mean it's more thirsty than my VW alltrack sportswagon 😯

[@leeridefar]

Correct. On the highway at 70mph/120kmh the gas mileage is not good. The 900cc engine is better for highway fuel mileage.

[@elestromusicgamesfun1101]

@@leeridefar - Oh damn, thanks for the info

[@keithrowell8895]

40 miles per gallon

[@jasperdevries9260]

Does the older models of the Ryker have a more favorable fuel mileage ?

[@jerrychau912]

Is 2002 model has the same all body panels like 2021 model? Because I am thinking get the full body decals for 2022 model

[@leeridefar]

Yes. They’re identical.

[@ryker4124]

Floorboards are not standard. The frunk lock is standard on the 2022 Sport & Rally.

[@leeridefar]

I’ve got the 2022 rally. The lock is not standard. Not in Canada anyways! The model is this video has the floor boards. And other 600s I have are too. If you read the manual it will say some models if different countries have different standard features

@@leeridefar you're right. Im in the USA.

[@beataddict5475]

40 bux to fill up a Ryker? Wow that's crazy. Just filled mine up for 15 buckaroos

[@leeridefar]

If the tank is completely empty and you’re paying two dollars a liter. That’s 40 bucks. I’m in Vancouver where it is two dollars a liter.

What’s the top speed

[@louishuther2534]

95 it's very nice

[@shadiandrew]

is that 600 really taking 10L/100km ?

[@leeridefar]

Yes. On the highway it cruises high in the RPM. 900 gets better mileage since it cruises at a lower rpm.

[@ylou4901]

Does the engine drive the rear wheel by belt or driving shaft?

[@leeridefar]

Shaft drive

[@drreal6648]

What about carrying a passenger?

[@leeridefar]

All good but depends on the total Weight of the two passengers.

[@ShowChrome]

[@LuisVargas-nd1tm]

your math is way off. even at 5.20 on premium fuel your paying about 26 bucks for 5 gallons. what are you paying for fuel? 8 bucks a gallon? jeez.

[@leeridefar]

Yes. I’m in Canada and at the high point gas was 2.30/L. That is $8.70 a gallon! Today it’s 1.95/L which is $7.40 a gallon.
