2022 Can-Am Ryker Sport 900 REVIEW

[@richporak]

So far the best review on the Ryker! Thanks brother ! Me and the wife are looking into buying a Ryker Sport soon. I currently own a 2005 Hayabusa and a 2019 Harley Road Glide. The wife is digging the 3 wheeler and a happy wife means a happy life . A Ryker might soon find a new home in our garage 👍

[@canuckpowersports]

Awesome Rich!! Thanks for the kind words. I am also coming off a Hayabusa and have owned a few Harleys as well. Had an unfortunate Busa vs moose incident 2 years ago but lucky enough to ride another day. My wife is also digging 3 wheels. Good luck with the new purchase and hope you and the mrs get to enjoy riding together. Cheers 🍻

[@kokobean240]

Agreed!

[@sackstoracks]

Smart man, I love my wife

[@markhernandez482]

I've had my Ryker Sport now for about a month (new rider) and I've already put about 700 miles on it. Love it! Always look forward to riding in. Love the rims that come with it. This Ryker gets lots of looks and compliments. Neighborhood kids call it the batman bike lol

[@canuckpowersports]

Awesome Mark!!! Keep packing on those miles 🤙🏽

[@SquidzitAce]

A bicycle has two wheels, a tricycle has three wheels, they are both cycles. Same applies when you add a motor to your cycle. A two wheel motorcycle is called a motor-bike and a three wheeled motorcycle is called a motor-trike, but they are both motorcycles. And they are both fun to ride. That's my take on this whole "that's not a motorcycle cuz three wheels" debate. Ride what ya like, have fun and stay safe!

[@ItsaJap]

I just signed up for the MSF class next month and have never rode. After all the research this seems like the safest option for me to ride with friends who have all been trying to get me to get a bike. Your review does give me a better idea with what model I may end up getting.

[@canuckpowersports]

That is great Taylor!! Awesome to hear that you are taking the course and getting out on the road. Start with what you feel comfortable with as you can always upgrade at a later date when you get more comfortable. Enjoy the course and ride safe 🤘🏽

[@iamenmotion]

I rarely comment on videos, but the is by far one of the best reviews I have seen on the Ryker! I have been trying to pull the trigger and this just sent me over the edge. Thanks for sharing.

[@canuckpowersports]

Thank you for the kind words!! So glad that you are pulling the trigger on a new Ryker. Enjoy the new steed and ride safe! 🤙🏽

[@johnsorensen3831]

Your review was spot on! I have a 2021 Rally and I really like it. So many reviews out there are more about pimping out the bike rather than what’s really like to drive one.

[@canuckpowersports]

Thanks John! Appreciate the positive feedback. 👍🏼 Enjoy the Rally!! I’m having a blast on 3 wheels.

I've had my Sport for about a month and absolutely love it. You did an excellent job explaining what a Sport is and the difference between it and a Rally.

Thanks Rod, greatly appreciated!! I look forward to riding the Ryker every chance I get. Enjoy your new ride and hope to catch ya on the road one day.

Bought used 22 sport😢 for $8500 usd today, 250 miles on it with lots of expensive upgrades. Mtx sound system/dash, wind guard, hand guards, hand wind guards, performance exhaust and led eyebrow headlights. That's all so far I can tell is added. Think I got a great deal.

Great Soundtrack, Bro…a very accurate description when saying it is like a snow mobile on the road…saw this before I bought mine and that description alone really helped make the decision a lot easier

This is the best honest, straight up review on the Ryker. Thanks

[@canuckpowersports]

Thank you for the kind words 🤙🏽

[@2wrdr]

It's a trike plain and simple, not a reverse trike, simply a trike. Trike = 3 wheels, Motorcycle = 2 wheels. No matter what the government says this is not a motorcycle. Is it fun? OH HECK YEAH! It's just a different kind of fun. Almost no learning curve to riding a Ryker at normal speeds. Pressing opposite leg into foot peg makes aggressive turns a piece of cake. Never having to worry about stopping and accelerating on wet surfaces is priceless. Also a little sand or rocks in road during tight turn is way less likely to ruin your day.😀

As a person with a disability I enjoyed riding motorcycles before my disability. I definitely want one of these

Hi I just bought myself a can-am Ryker , I had a major truck accident in 2018 and lost a leg above the knee so I looked around to see what would cost to get a motorbike modified and I decided that the can-am what’s the best deal that I can come up with the only modification and I had to do was to take a break from the right side to the left side which an engineer has already done, Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia

[@cloric1]

I agree it’s not a motorcycle its an inverted trike. And looks awesome

[@lostintheclouds8719]

Great review! And music (I listen to all these artists.) I had a question about the cruise control on the sport. when you throttle up to say 35 miles an hour and you wanna lock in the cruise control, do you just press the button once and then you’re locked in? What takes you out of cruise control? throttling up more? Braking?

[@canuckpowersports]

Thank you for the kind words 🤘🏽 Pressing the cruise control button will enable cruise control. Press again to set once you’re at your desired speed. To take it out of cruise you can either press the button to disengage cruise or hit the brake pedal. You will need to reset once back to your desired speed if cruise has been disengaged. Hope this helps

[@canuckpowersports]

You’ll have zero issues riding with the CVT transmission. As far as comfort goes… If you’re planning on long days in the saddle or multi-day trips, I’d invest in a comfort seat and windshield. The electronic cruise control on some models is also a nice feature. Good luck with the purchase and ride safe! 🤘🏽

So it's NOT a motorcycle?...... 🤔 but then just a moment later you say "let's take a quick walk around the bike." Edit: 20 seconds later you call it a bike again😂..... and less than 10 seconds after that. A couple of other "bike" mentions later, as well. I think you have it backwards..... it IS a motorcycle (@SquidzitAce breaks this down well), but it's NOT a bike (clearly a trike). I bet a number of Harley TriGlide owners take umbrage with the "three wheels is not a motorcycle" take on it. But whatever..... As for your review.... you did a very good job covering many important points. Ill give you 👍👍.

[@canuckpowersports]

Not calling it a motorcycle has been a hot topic on this video. Whatever you call it, it is a blast to ride. We also call ATV’s bikes here north of the border. Maybe it’s just our slang. No doot aboot it!

If you have long legs, the U-fit system won't fit. I have a 36" inseam and a Ryker leaves me with my Knees in a bod position for too long. Spyder > Ryker for any tall person. Also there is not plenty of room in the Frunk. you will find its just not big enough for most things you want in there minus Keys, wallet and water bottle.

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

I'm getting older and joint issues, this would be a nice transition from two wheels and without the cost of a Harley Freewheeler.

Totally agree Chris. The Ryker would definitely be more budget friendly and rides better than having 2 wheels in the back

The Ryker is an entry level model into the 3 wheel Can-Am world. There is a $7k difference between the top Ryker model and the F3 here in Canada. Maybe another “loaded” Ryker model to fill that gap would be awesome which would include a better display and maybe a turbo engine. Just my $.02 🤙🏽

You can buy a 2-up seat for them. It would be ok for around town riding or a day trip IMO but if planning longer or multi-day trips you may want to look at something like the Spyder specifically for comfort reasons. I’m sure people have done it on a Ryker tho. Just my $.02

With the Linq attachment on the rear you can carry fuel or luggage. I believe that there are 2 different size gas can available. One is around 10L and the other is the stackable can (in the video) that I can squeeze about 17L in.

Great points! I talk more about a turbo engines in my latest review. Precision EFI has a turbo kit for the Ryker. An all wheel drive would be interesting but not sure about handling characteristics.

[@smallnuts2]

I wonder what its like turning with it? Must be safter than a trike but probably harder?

[@canuckpowersports]

The geometry of having 2 wheels up front definitely makes it more stable in the turns. If you’ve ridden both you can definitely attest to that.

[@OgPayPeco]

Love the vid bro.

[@canuckpowersports]

Thank you sir 🤘🏽

[@RawDogTV]

Hey man I live in Montreal, where can I buy one? So hard to find

[@canuckpowersports]

I’m sure there are a few big Can-Am dealerships around the Montreal area. The 2023’s are slated to be announced soon I believe. If you can’t find a 2022 or a used one maybe talk to your local dealership about getting on a list? I ordered mine shortly after the New Year and took delivery in May. Might have to wait or be willing to travel to find one. It sucks, but unfortunately the only option right now. Good luck with your search and hopefully you’ll be able to pick one up soon 🤙🏽

[@I_Am_NAKOA]

Ok. Im new to riding. I want a can am. Choosing the right one is my thing. Im 5'10 230 lbs. Will a ryker be a bit small for me? I also like maybe doing a 2 up ability for it. What do you think? Or should I go up 1 to the f3. Yes price is a thing because Id also like some lee way for upgrades.. sorry but I really need some help choosing.. I dont want to look weird on a small bike. But again Im only 5'10 - 230 lbs roughly

[@canuckpowersports]

I am the same build and it fits me fine. Having the adjustability in the pegs and bars helps. You’ll be ok on the Ryker 🤙🏽 2up could be tight but still doable. If planning on doing a lot of 2 up riding I would step up to a bigger bike IMO. If just running around town with a passenger, you’ll be fine. Go with the 900. You’ll be glad that you did.

[@RobertSmith-zt2il]

Errands to town or 2 up for an hour ride, Ryker 900 (payload approx. 400 lbs) will be fine. If you want more than these, checkout the Spyder F3s (the cheaperr Spyder) Also, if you're thinking of the Ryker 900, research all the add-ons to get for your needs. Before you know it, you'll be approaching the Spyder F3 entry level cost. e.g.: adding a passenger seat with backrest to the Ryker and upgrading your sway bar will already set you back 500 to 600 dollars. It's easy to get carried 1000s $ away with the options the Ryker has, talking about a friend. LOL. May you find your "ride".

[@darkspine1052]

I'm looking for something that is cheaper and could be a first time bike/3 wheeler and I was wondering if something like this could be good. Also would you recommend it for city use or for more open roads?

[@canuckpowersports]

As a first bike, the Ryker would be a great option. If you’re looking to keep within a cheaper budget a used 600 may be the route to go. I’ve found that insurance is reasonable compared to getting on a sport bike for instance as a new rider. I enjoy riding open roads but that is just my preference. I know a lot of people that commute and ride in the city without issues. Good luck finding the right bike for you! Ride safe 🤘🏽

[@ScoobyDooSnakz]

Howdy? So I have no experience riding any bike other than a bicycle!! Would this ryker be a good bike if I am beginner?

[@canuckpowersports]

Yes it most definitely would be a great starter bike. There are only 2 things needed to operate the bike. The throttle which is your right hand and the brake pedal which is operated by your right foot. The benefits of the Ryker are… not having to hold the bike up when stopped, no shifting gears and not having to worry about sliding out if you hit sand in a corner. More of your riding is focused on what is on the road and you’re not having to worry about all the little things as a new rider. Good luck with your purchase whichever way you choose to go. Ride safe!!🤘🏽

@@canuckpowersports I am just afraid that I would hit the gas and crash. So I was learning how to ride a grom and somehow hit the gas without knowing and the grom hit one of those yellow poles and my body wrapped around the other pole.

Wasn't aware of the No Chip key 🤔 Might have to steal my bosses to go to lunch soon 🤣😂👍

@@jamesglenn520 Mechanically it's the same bike. The motor and drive train are the same. The frame is the same. The brakes are the same. The whole bike feels the same. I know it has an adjustable suspension and some cosmetic changes. My 2019 is heavily modified; including Elka suspension. So those cosmetic changes mean nothing to me. The bike is overall the same. It just has a price tag that does not make it a bargain like my 2019 was. The price is closer to the F3 now. And if I was considering an F3. I would just buy a base Slingshot.

[@anthonyhulse1248]

The chip issue is common throughout the whole automobile industry. It's due to logistical problems arising from global lockdowns.

[@djfrankib45]

@@anthonyhulse1248 I know why the problem exists. It still doesn't take away the fact. Can Am made the decision to still sell the bike without a chip in the key. My 2019 as well as any other key can start the 2022 model. And it can be stolen more easily. Oh I forgot; Can Am did acknowledge the bike not having a chip in the key. By putting a parking brake lock on the bike as standard equipment (that can easily be defeated with a screwdriver). Also the parking brake should have been included on all Rykers; since day one of production. And not only the Canadian models. I research everything. 😊

So, agree to it or not, it’s a motorcycle. A trike. No need to look down on it because it has an extra wheel, and a snowmobile can’t ride on a road, so not a fair comparison. Some of us want to ride but can’t on 2 wheels for a number of reasons, and we shouldn’t miss out on all the fun just because it has that third wheel, or ppl looking down on us. Ridiculous. Sorry, I’m just sick of the snubs when ppl aren’t making my bike pmts.

[@canuckpowersports]

Everyone has their own views about 3 wheels. I’m not looking down at it because I really enjoy my Ryker! As a snowmobiler myself, it rides more like a snowmobile than a motorcycle due to the fact that it rides “flat” IMO. I love the Ryker the more I ride it which is why I own one. It doesn’t matter what you ride or what category you decide to put 3 wheelers in, as long as you enjoy riding! The video is my own thoughts and no matter what anyone has to say there will always be people who agree or disagree with one’s opinion. Ride safe and I hope you enjoy 3 wheels as much as I do 🤙🏽

How is it a a touring bike? 500 miles +

[@canuckpowersports]

It can definitely be done but you’ll want to set it up with a few accessories to make yourself more comfortable. ie windshield, comfort seat etc. If looking to go on extended tours you may want to consider stepping into a Spyder. I’ll be releasing a video soon about setting up a Ryker for those looking to put on high miles, so be sure to watch for it. I’ve done a few 400 mile days and had zero issues.

[@felixd7818]

Just how bad it the sideways drifting? It looks pronounced.

[@canuckpowersports]

I was dodging some rough road sections in the video but it does drift a little bit at highway speeds. I’m use to it now but will be adding an aftermarket sway bar and end links which will hopefully eliminate that issue

[@anthonyhulse1248]

It only drifts when the rider drifts. It's rock solid. I've ridden my Ryker Rally for nearly 3 years.

[@MrRich2u]

If you have to modify the suspension just to go down the Highway. Can-Am is doing something wrong.

[@markuschampos5750]

Good point! But this is not a "Can Am problem", I used to own a Yamaha MT09 and that was awful on the road! Upgrade was a must and this meant more money out. I'm sure this was on purpose from Yamaha. Before the MT09 I owned a Triump Street Triple and it was a world apart from the MT09. The Street Triple was great and so much fun riding it. Now that I know the MT09 was a big mistake, shouldn't have sold the Street Triple for the MT09. But I've been in a serious accident 16 month ago (nothing to do with motorcycles) and are now in a wheelchair for life (broke my spine clean of). This is why I have started to look at Can Am:s both Spyder and Ryker... future will tell. As for now the Ryker feels the best. Hi from Sweden!👍

[@canuckpowersports]

It is like anything else I suppose. All depends on what type of ride you’re looking for. I have altered or changed the suspension components on pretty much every toy that I’ve owned. If looking to cruise around town or don’t ride aggressively, stock form will suit you well. If you are looking to push the bike harder, then upgrades are almost always necessary. Can-Am did do what they could to make the Ryker suitable for “most riders” by adding adjustability to pegs, handlebars, windshields etc. I set up my vehicles for how I ride. With that being said… I’ve had buddies jump on my bike or snowmobile and they hate how it’s set up because it is dialled in for my riding style. To each their own 🤷🏻

[@jamesglenn520]

I would not be in a big rush to change the suspension to fix the handling issue. My wife and I both have had our Rallies since spring 2019. We had 2wheels beforehand. We both found that 90+% of the handling issues were Rider Impute 👌 Different animal Different feel 😲 Put some miles on it and just relax Don't death grip the bars and be Mideful of over steer. It is very touchy and a little bit of input will have you all over the road. Ours are all stock suspension and we can cruise down the highway 60-80mph with one hand 👌👍

[@anthonyhulse1248]

well, you don't have to modify the suspension. Most people who modify the suspension do so because they are not used to the buffeting you get riding on a highway on a motorbike. If you come from a motorbike, the Ryker is rock solid by comparison.

Do you need to have regular driver license or motorcycle license for it

[@canuckpowersports]

You need a motorcycle or 3 wheel endorsement to ride here in Canada. Can-am offers a 3 wheel course, which upon completion will allow you to ride a 3 wheeler. Some States may have different rules so good to check with your local DMV for license requirements.

[@Mike-gt1cs]

I understand when you say a motorcycle has 2 wheels, but then you go on to list 'quads' amongst the motorcycles you've ridden?

[@terrancel1786]

I call it a "retro trike" or a "retro commuter".

[@MrQuandogg]

So do you need a motorcycle license to ride one of these?

[@canuckpowersports]

Depends on the State/Province. Some require a motorcycle licence or a 3 wheel endorsement. Best to check your local regulations.

[@cryptoironman6413]

It can't be a stand alone vehicle when it has to be categorized legally as a car or motorcycle. It is a motorcycle. A motorized cycle exactly. Two wheels is a bike, three wheels is a trike. No where in the vernacular does motorcyle specifically state two wheels. Laws don't care about your beliefs. Sorry not sorry

[@canuckpowersports]

Regardless of what you “call” it, who really cares? I was very surprised that out of the entire video, this is what people focused on. It’s just my opinion and based on the fact that it rides comparable to a snowmobile. Gold jacket, green jacket… who gives a shit. Just ride!

[@saf0490]

do you need a motorcycle license to buy and operate one of these? I heard that you didn't for this but i dont know

[@canuckpowersports]

In Ontario Canada you need a 3 wheel endorsement course or a motorcycle licence to operate the vehicle. Each State may have different laws so check with your local motor vehicle department for what is required. Helmet laws may also differ from State to State.

[@ethanh9535]

On average, how much does insurance cost for the Ryker? Thanks.

[@canuckpowersports]

Hey Ethan. It all depends on many factors such as age, driving record, geographical location, insurance company you use etc. I am paying slightly less than I did compared to my Harley and A LOT less than my Hayabusa. I am paying about $55/mo here in Ontario, Canada. Your best bet is to call around for quotes or bundle insurance with your house, car…

[@markhernandez482]

I'm a new rider and I pay about $60 a month for full coverage with State Farm.

How is the reliability??

[@canuckpowersports]

So far it has been great. I’ll be doing a 2500km (1500 mile) review shortly. I have heard that others have had issues but like any machine it will at some point. Regular maintenance will help prevent premature breakdowns but luckily I’ve been ok in that department so far. Time will tell

[@RobertSmith-zt2il]

The Shaft drive is what sold me to the Ryker. Most minor probs you'll be able to handle on your own even on the road. I'm almost near my 4,000 km check and no probs so far.

[@app1mxh]

@@RobertSmith-zt2il Ok. I'll place my order this week. My dealer has stock coming in August. Thanks!

[@robbierob2442]

400 miles on my 2021, now going to cost me $3000 to get the power steering pump fixed. Never buy these over priced things, oil change $284

[@canuckpowersports]

I’m assuming that you are riding a Spyder, not a Ryker??? The Ryker does not have power steering. Just like any toy, maintenance can get expensive if you aren’t willing to do the work yourself. I can buy a Ryker oil change kit for just over $100 CDN and get it done in less than an hour to save a few $’s. There are a few great KZbin videos out there to walk you through some of the basic maintenance. Some common tools and a little bit of mechanical knowledge can make the world of a difference. Good luck with your bike. I hope that you get everything sorted out. Ride safe 🤙🏽

[@robbierob2442]

Yes it’s a spyder, I will look to see if I can find anything, as I do love it and use it, just frustrating with only now 400 miles and it’s going out. And Can am and dealership don’t care.

@@robbierob2442 I get your frustration and I would be feeling the same. Hopefully that is the end of your issues. Having a good dealership can make or break your experience. Keep me posted on how you make out. Good luck!

@@canuckpowersports Traded it in, had more issues after the power steering, brakes were heating up. Thank you , but not for me even though I did enjoy the ride but not worth all the problems with only 400 miles on it. Good luck to all, but CanAm is definitely not for me

Cruise Control??? Where and how?

[@canuckpowersports]

The 2022 Ryker Sport and I believe the 2022 Rally has electronic cruise control as a standard feature. It is located on the left handlebar and can be engaged at >35 km/h. Push the button to activate, press again to set the cruise. To disengage, press the button again or step on the brake pedal.

[@maxmcneeley74]

My 2022 sport 900 has cruise control.Left side handlebar.
