  1. Vehicle speed control, Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Oct 28, 2022

    While driving at speeds around or above 20 mph when turning left the ABS or braking system begins activating causing a very serious hazard. This does not happen at any speeds when turning right. This has been reported by numerous Ryker owners. I have brought it into the shop and they are not able to locate or resolve the issue. This is an extremely dangerous situation as the biker will lose control at high speeds and potential force the driver off road or into another lane. This happens all the time and is constantly happening.

  2. Steering, Other or unspecified, May 14, 2022

    I have been dealing with an issue since December 2021 where the wheels lock up on tight left turns which has been pretty dangerous. Trike gives off vss code c0063 and c006c. I have taken it to the dealer on 3 occasions each time being told it was fixed only to have to situation reoccur a few days later. I have been unable to ride the vehicle since December.

  3. Other or unspecified, Apr 19, 2022

    The right wheel and back tire wobbles uncontrollably when making left turns. It's very dangerous. My dealership doesn't know how to fix it.
