Can-Am Ryker Rusty Wheel Hubs & The Missing Caps

Today, I wanted to share a solution I found recently to clean up the look of the Can-Am Ryker's rusty wheel hubs. We take a look at an OEM part from Can-Am designed to cover the wheel hubs and ask the questions: why aren't they on every Ryker and what Ryker models ARE they on?

Based on most of the recent comments, seems like they have started including these as standard. But it's always up to the dealer to make sure everything gets assembled correctly.

In my previous employment, I was the engineer that worked with BRP on these wheel hub bearings. They're actually just a pair of deep groove ball bearings as opposed to an all in one unit which are typical in cars. The surface corrosion was always a concern with these even in prototype, so I'm glad to see they actually made a cap for them as this was one of the solutions I proposed. Also just to add, my 2019 Ryker 900 didn't come with them.

What's interesting is that the cap does not look like a retrofit. It readily locked into place with 2 tabs at the 180 degree mark, and those tabs clicked into place in hub holes that look like they serve no other purpose except to secure the caps that didn't come with your Ryker. Seems like a manufacturing goof up, as I 'm sure Can Am wasn't trying to save $4 per Ryker by omitting them. Customers should insist on a dealer bulletin, where dealers are instructed to inspect, clean, lube and mount missing caps for all bikes coming in for service.

Thanks for the video and info, just got mine today from our friends up north and installing them on my 2020 rally. When I first got it in April, my hubs rusted up and I talked to BRP customer service and engineering. They said they had not heard of this issue, thought the dealers should paint the hubs at assembly, and never mentioned these caps. So I did what you did, cleaned them up and painted them myself. Thanks again for the tip.

Have you tried removing the caps and inspecting the previously rusted areas to ensure the rust issue isn't silently continuing underneath the caps? The only reason I ask is because these caps don't seem to be waterproofing the rusted areas underneath. Where there's water, there's bound to be rust.

Like you and am sure like many others I had the same issue..The rust.. I've been cleaning off rust for years with "PB Blaster".the rust wipes right off and.leaves an oily residue which greatly reduces the rust from coming back..When my Ryker was delivered to me at the dealer I had noticed that my bike didn't have the caps while others had them.I inquired about them and they ordered me the caps which I got at no cost. As far as the "Holes" I used engine "freeze plugs" and inserted then one the hubs.

@3WheelKhalil 4 жыл бұрын

Nice good recommendation to Ryker buyers, push to get the dealer to include them. Such a low cost item, they most likely would as to not miss a sale, but good luck getting them for free after the sale.

I have been applying wd-40 once a week to the inside and outside of the hubs since I got the ryker in January. No rust issues so far here in Northeast Florida. When I went to purchase a Ryker, many of the brand new models had the hub rust and they were on the showroom floor. I searched high and low for a rust free Ryker. Knowing about the rust issue before purchase definitely helped me stay in front of the problem.

Would the rust still happen inside the hole?? The caps cover the rim of the hole but you would still have to clean it out inside since it is still open right??? I have look at video that people paint it with rust resistance black paint. Maybe the paint and caps combo would be a complete solution..

@3WheelKhalil 4 жыл бұрын

For the most part the inner wheel hub tube has stayed relatively rust free, only the outer most part closest to the rim had some rust build-up. After cleaning it up and putting a little lithium grease on, I've been going strong for more than a few weeks with very little rust coming back. That being said, I'm sure adding a little paint into the mix would lower the maintenance required to keep the hubs nice and clean.

As far as rust, I checked back after about 3 weeks and it only has accumulated a small bit compared to normal, so I think the caps do really help.
