Can-Am Ryker Modification: BRP Sway Bar & Baja Ron End Link Installation and Review

[@johnd9031]

Glad it’s improved your ride and 👍 to your husband and dad. BRP should put these in at the factory as standard on a $10,000 + machine.

I just ended up cutting the sway bar to remove it and use the Baja Ron sway bar which is a straight bar. Way easier then doing all the work that you're doing to put the new bar in

[@hankwojo]

Did you notice a difference with the Baja Ron sway bar? I'm contemplating going that route.

[@pyratio808]

Great video! Love how you are real with the viewers and show us your trials and tribulations. Other vloggers just skip the hard parts altogether. Which doesn't help anyone looking for help. Kudos to your husband and Dad for not giving up. Good job everyone!

[@stephaniewooden8555]

I replaced just the end links and that made a huge difference by itself.

[@jefflemoine1787]

Morgan, you were very lucky. I did a conversion to the entire Baja Ron sway bar, end links, and the sway bar arms. Since I was putting on the straight sway bar I just went ahead and cut the end of the stock sway bar off,and then pulled off both pieces and tossed them. Main Problem I had was getting the new bushings installed. In fact it took a roughly 15 min phone call to Baha Ron himself to help get those mounted. Was a project that took 4 days of intermittent work to accomplish, and I pride myself on being a fairly competent mechanic. It has definitely made a great handling improvement to my Rally. Enjoy it and ryde safe.

Huge thumbs up to your husband and your dad for helping you. And is always good video.🏍🏍🏍

[@Daniel_Size_12]

Great job. I think I'll ride my Ryker for awhile before I replace the swaybar and endlinks.

[@aeromedical6776]

LOL. I didn’t observe her turning a wrench in this video. She did an outstanding job supervising - I’ll give her that.

[@greygow5984]

I wanted to do the BRP sway bar, but because of the deconstruction of the suspension involved I ended up going with the Baja Ron sway bar which was easier to install. It’s still some work. I do love how it feels, much more planted in the turns which is where I really notice it. Now I know what everyone is referring to about doing the end links and sway bar, it’s worth it.

[@tara2710]

Great video, as always! Very informative 👏 Big thanks to your Dad and husband for helping with the install!

[@steph6934]

Fantastic job! Thank you! I'm trying to convince my wife to do this upgrade to her Ryker. Like you said, one gets used to the stock handling!... I have also found this: at the very end of the steering column the rubber bushing is culprit for letting the two front weels move somewhat freely and not in sync, and dart where uneven pavement make them. Question: How come the bearing of the BAJARON link seems torn apart in the video (4:17) ? Is this unit broken or just poor quality? TY

[@Bubble7481]

Thanks for using lingo that makes sense to me- 'loosy goosy' handling is what I'm trying to negate by getting a sway bar fitted to my Ryker Rallye. Keep up the good work! Regards from West Berkshire in the UK

[@ryker_bee]

Great informative video as always! I didn’t do sway bar (yet, lol) but the links made Al the difference in the world! The roads have crowns so you are either on one side or the other as you move across the road. The factory ones are nylon so that’s what gives you that squirrelly feel (that you end up getting used to) but that disappears with the new links. Ryde Safe!

[@HARMARSCH2]

Ryker Chick, You can see the quality in the new sway bar and end links. How was your front wheel alignment after doing the work? Does it need to be aligned?

[@mcgarvy7]

Great video, I’m nervous just watching. Can Am that should be standard

[@mharris1957]

I'm about to do the end links on my 2021 600. Didn't want to tackle the entire sway bar. Hopefully I will get an improvement just from that. Great information and video!

[@6431harry]

I installed the entire Baja Ron kit. You can cut the old sway bar off and put the new one on. If I had to do it all over again, I would just do end links. I first put on the SpyderExtras Billet Aluminum End Links and found that the Ryker was super strait and planted, but also hard to push and pull through turns. Then I put the entire Baja Ron kit in, which I felt was almost too loose after the Spyder Extras Billet Aluminum end links. I wish I would have put the Baja Ron End links only and compared apples to apples, the difference between the two end Links. I have lost all my audio too. Thanks Harry

[@sharoncundiff7680]

in the visual side by side of the old sway bar vs new, other than color, I can't visually recognize that they are different. Are the materials different, perhaps the stiffness? I can spot differences in the end links. If there isn't a difference other than color in the sway bars, would just replacing the end links yield the same outcome?

[@fabburg9955]

Good job ryker chick family ! Big up from France 🤘😉

[@CRUZCONTROL]

I changed my endlinks when I first got the ryker... maybe I'll get around to the bar one day lol

[@dannyh6645]

One can certainly appreciate the hard work you guys put into the project but I’m wondering if just adding the metal end links could have helped with the old sway bar which looks exactly like the new sway bar but just a different color

[@aeromedical6776]

I was thinking the same thing. It certainly didn’t look any beefier than the original.

[@bikerbrinrac]

Wow that was a monumental effort. Well done. Definitely not for the faint hearted and good to video that so you know how to put it back together 😃.

[@RollingOn3]

Good job on the install, I just did my end links, found that to be sufficient

[@kimberlysimonds9470]

You see a difference doing just end links!

[@RollingOn3]

@@kimberlysimonds9470 100% don't see the point in replacing a metal arm with another, but replacing the plastic endlinks is a game changer

[@kimberlysimonds9470]

@@RollingOn3 thanks 👍

[@kimberlysimonds9470]

Oh my !!! Nicely done.. great footage 😊..

[@BT-cn7ne]

I cried at the end link bolt snapping part 😢...it's 5am and autozone just got an internet pickup order for m6-1.0 x 35mm flange bolts (5 pack) from me 😭

[@evelynsmith7916]

My Ryker is a 2020 600 I purchased last Oct, Do I need to do this upgrade so soon...

[@rbishop3162]

nice job Great vid, and you said your in FL what part? I'm in the Panhandle, now i dont have a Ryker but i do have a Spyder LOL

[@ricardosolis8155]

Family is awesome.

[@love-life77738]

Sway bar will takes the sway or roll out of the bike hence the name sway bar.. upgrading will make it more stable or stiffer through corners where u tend to get sway

[@aeromedical6776]

Most videos I’ve seen regarding removal of the sway bar involve cutting it with a grinder to avoid having to deconstruct so much of the bike. You’d definitely have to have some nerve and a very steady hand to go that route.

[@cewilliamsii]

That was crazy! I had the dealer install the upgraded sway bar before I took ownership, and upgraded the end links myself. I love the ride. BTW...what kind of riding top are you sporting? Looking to get my wife and I something like what ur wearing

[@roosterinmarari]

How much did they charge you

[@cewilliamsii]

@@roosterinmarari unfortunately I don't remember it was part of the purchase agreement. I just remember thinking it was more than I thought it would be just to install the passenger seat and upgraded sway bar. At the time I wasn't confident in my ability to do it myself, so I chalked it up to "worth the spend"

[@kenniitran]

Great vid and thx for sharing.

[@ROTAX1]

Damm Moto has a video 33% stronger that breaks this job down well… I have two Ryker’s… I did both bikes in about four hours or so. You don’t need to take off all the parts that are shown in this video. The Baja Ron bar is a snap because it is straight. I did the BRP bars. One thing for sure, when Canam builds the Ryker, they install a squirrel in the suspension. And he runs around and makes things really Squirrley at high speed on the interstate. The sway bar and end links completely eliminate his activity. If you have a Ryker, you need the new sway bar. It amazes me that for the difference in cost, maybe 20 bucks, Can-Am does not install the better sway bar when manufacturing this bike. Have a great day.

[@CONQUISTADOR79]

Now I’m scared to buy one if it breaks with the original ones!!!!

[@JuniorJr_23]

First. Thanks for sharing.

[@tobylopez445]

I just think that mine will go to the dealer.

[@angrytigerfireworks1899]

Why didn’t you just jack it up and slide it out like it says in the instructions??Will save hours of unnecessary work.

[@antonioclaudio8978]

We?

[@dianetrudel6986]

why buy sway bar from BRP they will be no change in riding same sway bar

[@salimfaysal6651]

😍🌹

[@tobylopez445]

less wiggly would be correct.

[@timhallpdx7]

Baja Ron Sway Bar is better
