About this Operator’s Guide
This Operator's Guide was written in
North America in a right-lane driving
environment. Please adapt your application of these maneuvers to your jurisdiction and rules of the road.
In this Operator's Guide, the word motorcycle typically refers to a
two-wheeled motorcycle.
Keep this Operator's Guide in the vehicle at all time so that you can refer to
it for things such as maintenance,
road side repairs and instructing
others.
If you want to view and/or print an extra copy of your Operator's Guide,
simply visit the following web site:.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Due to late changes, some differences between the manufactured product and the descriptions and/or
specifications in this guide may occur.
BRP reserves the right at any time to
discontinue or change specifications,
designs, features, models or equipment without incurring any obligation
upon itself.
This Operator's Guide should remain
with the vehicle when it is sold.
Refer to Other Sources of
Information
In addition to reading this Operator's
Guide, you should read the Safety
Card , all on-product safety labels and
watch the safety video located at:
https://can-am. brp. com/spyder/

html
Or, use the following QR code.
If possible, take a training course that
is specifically designed for a 3-wheel
vehicle.
For more information about upcoming
training course availability, visit our
web site at:

and also, the received information
about managing the risk on the road
are suitable for a 3-wheel vehicle.

Be A Responsible Rider
At BRP, we believe there’s an opportunity for everyone in the powersports
and marine communities to come together and rethink how we approach
safety, riding etiquette, and the environment. We believe that when we
empower all riders to ride responsibly

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
13
AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion and
eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be present
even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save
yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in
enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air and seek medical
treatment.
To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:
– Never run the vehicle in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as
garages, carports or barns. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with
fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
– Never run the vehicle outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a
building through openings such as windows and doors.
14
AVOID GASOLINE FIRES AND OTHER HAZARDS
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. Fuel vapors can spread
and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from the engine. To reduce
the risk of fire or explosion, follow these instructions:
– Refuel outdoors in a well ventilated area away from flames, sparks, lit cigarettes and other sources of ignition.
– Never add fuel with engine running.
– Never top off the fuel tank. Leave some room for the fuel to expand with temperature changes.
– Wipe up any spilled fuel.
– Never start or operate the engine with the fuel filler door opened.
– Use only an approved red gasoline container to store fuel.
– Do not carry gasoline containers on the vehicle.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death.
– Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
– If you swallow gasoline, get any in your eye or inhale gasoline vapor, see your
doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on you, wash with soap and water and change your clothes.
15
AVOID BURNS FROM HOT PARTS
The exhaust, oil, and cooling systems as well the engine become hot during operation. Other vehicle parts, such as multifunction gauge glass, can also be hot if
exposed to sunlight. Temperature higher than 60 ° C (140 ° F) can be reached.
Avoid contact during and shortly after operation to avoid burns.
16
ACCESSORIES AND MODIFICATIONS
Do not make unauthorized modifications, or use attachments or accessories that
are not approved by BRP. Since these changes have not been tested by BRP,
they may increase the risk of crashes on the road or injuries, and they can make
the vehicle illegal for use on the road.
Unlike most motorcycles, this vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Stability System
(VSS), which is calibrated for the vehicle normal configuration. VSS may not
function properly if the vehicle is modified, such as changing weight distribution,
wheelbase, tires, suspension, brakes or steering.
See your authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer for available BRP accessories for
your vehicle.
For safety reasons, some BRP accessories must be installed by a BRP dealer
but if you decide to install the accessory by yourself, when not required to be
done by the dealer, it is important to follow all the instructions carefully and, if applicable, understand all the information on how to use the product or for
servicing.
If the accessory has been installed on your vehicle by another person than you,
BRP strongly recommends you to read the corresponding instruction sheet as
there may be more for information on how to use it safely or for the servicing.

Adjusting the Handlebar
WARNING
The handlebar, the driver's footpegs and the brake pedal can be
easily adjusted to meet each driver needs.
It is important that all controls
must be fully accessible and
easily usable by the person driving the vehicle and this at all
times.
Take time to adjust the vehicle to
the driver before riding.
Make sure the engine is turned off
and the engine stop switch is on
the STOP position before performing any control components
adjustments.
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Sitting on the vehicle, lift the locking lever to unlock the handlebar.
Adjusting the Locking Lever
Clamping Strength
1. Turn the locking lever screw counterclockwise to increase the
clamping strength and clockwise
to decrease it.
Throttle
Twist the right handgrip to operate the
throttle. This controls the vehicle’s
speed by controlling the flow of fuel to
the engine.
To speed up, twist the throttle toward
you (lower your wrist).
To slow down, twist it away from you
(raise your wrist).
3. Move the handlebar back and forth
until a comfortable position is
obtained.
4. When done, reposition the locking
lever in its original position to lock
the handlebar in place.
The throttle should spring back completely to the idle position when you
release the grip.
WARNING
Be sure that the locking lever is
well positioned. It should be equal
with the handlebar retaining
clamps.

This vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control (ETC). The
throttle plates in the throttle body are
controlled electronically and can be
opened or closed irrespective of the
throttle twist grip position when
necessary.
Press the lever with your foot to apply
the brake to all three wheels.
It may happen that when you accelerate, the Vehicle Stability System
(VSS) prevents engine acceleration in
order to maintain vehicle stability.
Then, when the vehicle is stabilized,
the engine RPM would increase as requested if the throttle was maintained.
This would be felt as a "delayed"
acceleration.
The VSS can never accelerate the vehicle. All it can do is to open the throttle slightly to decrease the amount of
engine braking on slippery surfaces.
This prevents the rear tire from slipping because of engine braking.
Brake Pedal
The brake lever is located in front of
the right footpeg.
Always apply your brakes as a signal
to others that you are slowing down.
NOTICE
When riding, make sure not to lay
your foot on brake pedal. Otherwise, the engine management will
activate the limp home mode to
protect the braking system.
Park Lever
Located on the left side of the vehicle,
the park position blocks the gearbox
to prevent the rear wheel to turn.

OPERATING MODES
ECO Mode
When the fuel economy mode (ECO)
is selected, the vehicle torque and
speed are limited whereby an optimal
cruising speed is maintained in order
to reduce fuel consumption.
Once activated, the ECO mode will remain active until it is deactivated by
the operator.
SPORT Mode
When the SPORT mode is activated,
the VSS will allow significantly more
rear wheel spinning and higher vehicle slip angle, thus requiring countersteering. Moreover, when this
mode is activated, traction control is
reduced, meaning that rear wheel
skidding is less supported even on
lower friction surfaces. This mode is
most effective on dry or wet asphalt.
When this mode is activated, the driver should be even more careful than
when normally driving the vehicle.
This mode can only be activated when
the driver is alone on the vehicle (no
passenger) and if no VSS fault is
active.
WARNING
You should familiarize yourself
with the basic operation of the vehicle as well as vehicle handling
with the VSS before using the
sport mode. When using the sport
mode, always be aware of your
surroundings and of the vehicle
handling.
RALLY Mode
The RALLY mode was designed to
improve the riding experience on
loose gravel road and other unpaved
roads. VSS interventions are adapted
to loose surface roads. This mode
must only be used when riding on unpaved roads. When this mode is activated, the driver should be even more
46
careful than when normally driving the
vehicle.
This mode can only be activated when
the driver is alone on the vehicle (no
passenger) and if no VSS fault is
active.

should be inspected as per the Maintenance Schedule.
Engine
NOTICE
During the break-in period:
– Avoid full throttle acceleration.
– Avoid maintaining constant
RPM.
– Avoid sustained accelerations.
– Avoid prolonged cruising
speeds.
If the cooling fan operates continuously during stop and go traffic, pull
over and shut off the engine to let it
cool down or speed up to let air cool
off the engine.
However, brief acceleration and
speed variations contribute to a good
break-in.
49
BASIC PROCEDURES
Brakes and Tires
During the break-in period, avoid hard
braking.
WARNING
New brakes and tires do not operate at their maximum efficiency
until their break-in is completed.
Braking, steering and VSS performance may be reduced, so use
extra caution.
Brakes and tires take about 300
km (200 mi) of riding with frequent
braking and steering to break-in.
For riding with infrequent braking
and steering, allow extra time to
break-in the brakes and tires.
Drive belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in
period of 50 km (30 mi).
During this period:
– Avoid strong acceleration and
deceleration.
– Avoid high speed cruising.
Fueling
–
–
following problems in the fuel system components:
– Starting and operating
difficulties.
– Deterioration of rubber or plastic parts.
– Corrosion of metal parts.
– Damage to internal engine
parts.
Inspect frequently for the presence
of fuel leaks or other fuel system
abnormalities if you suspect the
presence of alcohol in gasoline exceeds the current government
regulations.
Alcohol-blended fuels attract and
hold moisture, which may lead to
fuel phase separation and can result in engine performance problems or engine damage.
Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum AKI (RON +MON)/2 octane
rating of 87, or a RON octane rating of
92.
Use unleaded gasoline containing a
MAXIMUM of 10% ethanol.
Fuel Requirements
NOTICE
Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline will oxidize; the result is a loss
of octane, volatile compounds,
and the production of gum and
varnish deposits which can damage the fuel system.
Alcohol fuel blending varies by country and region. This engine was designed to operate using the
recommended fuels. However, be
aware of the following:
– Use of fuel containing alcohol
above the percentage specified by
government regulations is not recommended and can result in the
50
NOTICE
Never experiment with other
fuels. Engine or fuel system damage may occur with the use of an
inadequate fuel.
NOTICE
Do NOT use fuel from fuel pumps
labeled E85.
United States of America
Use of fuel labeled E15 is prohibited
by U.S. EPA regulations.

SAFE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
55
WHAT'S DIFFERENT FROM OTHER VEHICLES
This section will help you to understand some distinctive and operating
features of this vehicle
Stability
The “Y” configuration of this 3-wheel
vehicle provides greater low-speed
stability than a motorcycle.
However, it is not as stable as a
four-wheeled vehicle such as an automobile. Driving aid technologies, like
the electronic Vehicle Stability System
(VSS), help maintain stability during
maneuvers, but you can still lose control, tip or roll the vehicle due to extreme maneuvers (such as hard
turns), overloading the vehicle or striking uneven surfaces or objects. In addition, the operator or passenger can
fall off due to hard turns, acceleration,
braking or impacts.
Response to Road
Conditions
The road behavior of this vehicle may
be different from other vehicles on the
road. Follow these recommendations.
– Do not ride off-road or on ice or
snow.
– Avoid puddles and running water.
The vehicle hydroplanes more
easily than a car. If you must go
through water, slow down.
– Slow down on gravel, dirt or sand
covered roads.
– Driving at temperature lower than
5 °C (41 °F) will result in reduced
adherence.
Refer to Street Strategies for detailed
instructions.
Brake Pedal
One pedal applies brakes on all three
wheels. There is no hand-operated
brake, and there is no way to brake
front and rear wheels separately.
This vehicle is able to brake and steer
at the same time, much better than a
56
motorcycle and can stop very quickly.
Be aware of vehicles behind you, they
may not able to stop or react as
quickly.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) as part of
the Vehicle Stability System (VSS).
This system helps to maintain the
steering control during an emergency
braking situation by keeping the
brakes from locking.
Park Position
The park position lever is a mechanical device that locks the drive shaft
when engaged.
NOTICE
Never try to slow or stop vehicle
by moving the park position lever.
The drive shaft and the gearbox
will be damaged.
Also, the selected gear display will indicate a P when the park position lever is in the locked position.
Steering
Direct Steering
To take a turn, always steer the handlebar in the direction of the turn.
Motorcyclists - Do not countersteer as
you do with a motorcycle. Unlike a
motorcycle, this 3-wheel vehicle cannot lean while turning. You must relearn how to turn. Practice the turns at
different speeds until you are
proficient.
Sideways Forces in Turns
Unlike a motorcycle, this vehicle cannot lean while turning. You will feel
sideways forces pushing you to the
outside of the turn.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT'S DIFFERENT FROM OTHER VEHICLES
To maintain balance, the operator and
passenger must hold back with their
both hands and keep their feet firmly
planted on the footpegs.
In tight turns, it may help to lean your
upper body forward and toward the inside of the turn.
Width
Because this vehicle is wider than a
typical motorcycle:
– Always keep the front wheels in
your lane. Be particular aware of
the front wheels location when entering in a curve or during an
overtaking.
– Do not share lanes or split lanes
(ride between two lanes of traffic).
Group riding should proceed in a
single file, even with motorcycles.
– Be prepared to swerve farther to
avoid obstacles.
CAUTION
Always keep both feet on the footpegs while operating in reverse.
Never put your feet on the ground
while backing-up.
Driver's License and Local
Laws
Driver's license requirements for operating this vehicle vary by location. Depending on local laws, you may need
an automobile driver's license, a motorcycle's license, or a specific endorsement for a 3-wheel vehicle.
Check with local authorities to make
sure you have the proper license before operating the vehicle on public
roads.
NOTE:
Clearing an obstacle with the front
wheels does not guarantee clearing
the obstacle with the rear wheel.
Reverse
The reverse icon
appears into the
selected gear display when the reverse position is selected.
This vehicle may back in reverse like
a car. However, there are some important differences:
– If necessary, have the passenger
dismount if your visibility is limited.
– Remember that the front is wider
than the rear. Do not back up too
close to objects or you may hit
them with the front tires.
– Keep your speed low and do not
back up for long distances.
– When possible, park so that you
do not have to back out of the
parking space.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DRIVING AID TECHNOLOGIES
Vehicle Stability System
(VSS)
recommended tire pressure or if tire
tread condition is degraded.
This vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Stability System (VSS).
If your tires lose traction with the road
surface you may lose control of the
vehicle, even with VSS.
This system helps to keeping the control of the direction and reduce the risk
of tipping or rolling over in some
situations.
The VSS is composed of:
– An A n t i - l o c k B r a k i n g S y s t e m
( A B S ) that helps maintain steering
control during an emergency braking situation by keeping the brakes
from locking.
– An E l e c t r o n i c B r a k e D i s t r i b u t i o n
( E B D ) system that automatically
adjusts the brake balance between
all three wheels. With the ABS,
EBD helps maintain directional
control and maximize the braking
force depending on the traction
available.
– A Traction Control System
( T C S ) that helps prevent the rear
wheel from slipping. The TCS will
limit rear wheel spin only if you turn
the handlebar (steer out of straight
line) or if traction conditions or vehicle stability require engine torque
to be reduced. The system allows
more slipping when SPORT or
RALLY modes are selected.
– A Stability Control System
( S C S ) is designed to limit the
power driving the rear tire and to
brake individual wheels, which reduces the risk of losing control of
the vehicle or rolling over.
Limitations
VSS cannot help you maintain control
in all situations.
Surfaces with Poor Traction
The grip of tires on the road surface
limits the maximum braking. Even with
ABS and EBD, your stopping distance
will be longer on surfaces with poor
traction, if you do not maintain
58
If the paved road surface is covered or
partially covered with ice, snow or
slush, there is not enough traction
available to maintain control of the vehicle, even with VSS. Do not operate
on snow, ice or slush.
NOTE:
The grip of the vehicle tires starts to
decrease below 5 °C (41 °F).
Like other on-road vehicles, this vehicle can hydroplane on water (lose
traction on a layer of water). If you ride
too fast into a layer of water, such as a
large puddle or flowing water on the
road, the vehicle can lose traction and
spin out, and the VSS cannot keep
you in control. Avoid large water puddles or water streams, and slow down
or pull off the road during heavy rains.
If you must pass through water, slow
down as much as possible before you
reach it.
All Models except Ryker Rally
900ACE
Reduce speed on surfaces with poor
traction, like mud, sand, gravel or wet
pavement. This vehicle is not for off-road operation. Always operate the
vehicle on maintained roadways. Do
not use the vehicle on any other
terrain.
Ryker Rally 900ACE Models
This model is specially designed to be
used on multiples rolling surfaces.
Even if it can used on surfaces with reduced traction, IT IS NOT AN OFF-ROAD VEHICLES.
Be aware when driving on slippery
surfaces that the vehicle systems cannot compensate for all dangerous
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVING AID TECHNOLOGIES
driving situations. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
Always select the R A L L Y m o d e when
driving under these conditions. Refer
to Settings in the 4.5" Digital Display
section.
Tires
The VSS on the vehicle has been calibrated to perform best with a tire of a
specific size, material and tread pattern. Replacing your tires with ones
not approved by BRP can cause the
VSS to be less effective.
Use only BRP recommended tires,
which can be ordered only from an authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer.
Proper tire inflation pressure and
tread condition are important for maintaining traction, especially on loose or
wet surfaces. Tire pressure that is too
low may result in hydroplaning and excessive tire heat build up, while a tire
pressure that is too high can reduce
VSS effectiveness.
Hard Turns
The VSS does not control or limit
steering input — it cannot keep you
from turning too sharply. Large and
rapid steering handlebar movements
can cause the vehicle to go out of control, spin, tip or roll over.

UNDERSTANDING RISK ON THE ROAD
Before operating this 3-wheel vehicle,
watch the safety video, read the safety
card and all on-product safety labels.
Consider your risk of being hurt or
killed in a crash, think how you can reduce this risk and whether, you are
willing to take this risk.
Operator Skills and
Judgment
Every driver has some control over
their own risk on the road.
Drivers who develop good skills will
have better control of their vehicle.
There are many factors that contribute
to the risk that you face. You can control some of these factors, but others,
like the behavior of other drivers, are
beyond your control.
Do not rely on your experience with
motorcycles, automobiles, ATVs,
snowmobiles or any other kind of vehicle to prepare you to operate the
vehicle.
Here are some of the factors that affect your risk:

Different types of vehicles vary in
terms of size, visibility and maneuverability and provide different degrees of
protection.
This vehicle is small and maneuverable. Maneuverability can help avoid
crashes. However, smaller vehicles
are harder to see, which increases the
chance that other motorists will cause
a crash. In some situations, the Ryker
is less likely to be in a crash than a
motorcycle. For example, you are less
likely to tip over at low speeds while
operating the vehicle. However, in
other situations, the vehicle is more
likely to be in a crash. For example,
because the vehicle is wider, it will not
fit through as small an opening as
many motorcycles.
In cars and trucks, the structure of the
vehicle provides protection in crashes
and from other road hazards. In addition, passengers can protect themselves by wearing seat belts. You
should expect that the riding of this vehicle is riskier than riding in a car and
that the risk of injury is more like riding
a motorcycle.
As when riding a motorcycle, you can
reduce the risk of injuries by wearing a
helmet and riding gear.

Or, use the following QR code:
If available, take a training course. Become proficient with the controls and
be able to do the practice exercises
accurately and with confidence before
going on the road.
When you begin riding on the road,
start with less challenging situations
(e. g., light traffic, lower speeds, good
weather, no passenger) and gradually
move on to more challenging riding
situations as you develop your skills.
Plan ahead to avoid situations that are
too difficult for your skill level, or that
present more risk than you want to
take on.
Even skilled drivers cause crashes.
For example, if you use your skills to
do extreme maneuvers or stunts, you
increase your risk. The smart driver

Alcohol, drugs, medications, fatigue,
drowsiness and emotions can all inhibit your ability to ride safely. Like riding a motorcycle, riding this vehicle is
a challenging activity — being in good
physical and mental condition is even
more important than for a car. The safest policy is to never operate the vehicle unless you are alert and
completely sober. Even if your blood
alcohol level is not over the legal limit,
your judgment and skills are impaired
by any alcohol consumption.
You must be physically able to operate all controls, turn the handlebar
through the full range of steering,
mount and dismount, and monitor
your surroundings to operate the
vehicle.
Passengers also need to be alert, sober and physically able to maintain
their posture, hold on and react appropriately to curves, bumps, acceleration and stops.
Vehicle Condition
Keep your vehicle in good condition.
Do pre-operation checks and perform
regular maintenance. Watch for any
messages on the multifunction gauge
cluster when you start the vehicle, and
address any problems before you
ride.
Always use the multifunction gauge
with extreme caution. Prolonged attention to the display while riding significantly increases the risk of a crash.

RIDING GEAR
Riding this vehicle requires the same
protective gear as motorcycling. Even
though the vehicle is more stable at
low speeds than a motorcycle, you
can still be thrown off.
Even the best helmet is no guarantee
against injury, but statistics indicate
that helmet use significantly reduces
the risk of brain injury. So, be safe and
always wear a helmet while riding.
This section is based on guidance for
motorcyclists given by the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation (MSF).
Choosing a Helmet
Helmets should be manufactured to
meet the appropriate standard in your
state, province or country.
In the event of a crash, protective gear
may prevent or reduce injuries. Protective gear also helps you stay comfortable and can help provide
protection against the elements.
Recommended basic protective gear
for riders and passenger includes
sturdy over-the-ankle footwear with
non-slip soles, long pants, a jacket,
full-fingered gloves and, above all, an
approved helmet with proper eye
protection.
A full-face helmet gives the most protection against impacts since it covers
all of the head and face. It can also
protect against debris, stones, insects,
etc.
A three-quarter or open-face helmet
can also offer protection. It is constructed with the same basic components but does not offer the face and
chin protection of full-face helmets. If
you wear an open-face helmet, you
should use a snap-on face shield or a
pair of goggles.
NOTE:
Ordinary glasses or sunglasses are
not sufficient eye protection for a motorcyclist. They can shatter or fly off,
and they allow wind and airborne objects to reach the eyes.
Use tinted face shields, goggles or
glasses in the daytime only; do not
use them at night or in poor illumination. Do not use them if they impair
your ability to discern color.
RIDING GEAR
1. Approved helmet
2. Eye and face protection
3. Jacket with long sleeves
4. Gloves
5. Long pants
6. Over-the-ankle footwear
Other Riding Gear
Proper apparel can reduce the severity of injuries in case of a crash, either for the operator or the passenger.
Helmets
Helmets protect the head and brain
from injury. A helmet can also protect
the passenger's face from impact with
the back of the operator's helmet.
62
Footwear
Always wear closed toe footwear.
Sturdy over-the-ankle boots protect
against a variety of riding hazards,
such as stones that get thrown up
from the roadway and burns from the
hot exhaust pipe.
Avoid long shoelaces that can be
tangled in the gearshift lever, brake
pedal or other parts. Rubber soles

RIDING GEAR
and low heels are a good idea to help
keep feet on the footrests.
Gloves
Full-fingered gloves protect hands
from the wind, sun, heat, cold and flying objects. Gloves that fit snugly will
improve grip on the handlebar and
help reduce hand fatigue. Sturdy, reinforced motorcycle gloves help protect
hands in the event of a fall. Gloves
made specifically for motorcyclists
have seams on the outside to prevent
irritation, and are curved to provide a
natural grip when curled around the
handgrips. If gloves are too bulky, it
may be difficult to operate the controls. Gauntlets keep cold air from
going up sleeves and protect the
wrists.
1. Glove gauntlet
Jackets, Pants and Riding Suits
Wear a jacket and long pants, or a full
riding suit. Quality motorcycle-type
protective gear will provide comfort,
and it can help you avoid being distracted by adverse environmental elements. In case of a crash, good
quality protective gear made of sturdy
material may prevent or reduce injury.
Some gear includes padding or hard
armor that may further reduce the risk
of injury in a crash. Pants also help
protect against burns from hot parts.
Protective gear sold for motorcycling
will often provide the best combination
of fit and protection. These garments
are designed to fit while sitting in a riding position. They are cut longer in the
sleeves and legs and are fuller across
the shoulders. Riding suits are available in both one-piece and two-piece
sets.
Leather is a good choice because it is
durable and wind-resistant and provides protection against injury. Other
abrasive-resistant protective gear
made of synthetic fabrics are good
choices, too. Do not wear loose or
long clothing or scarves that can become tangled in the moving parts.
Flaps and fasteners seal out the wind.
A jacket with a zippered front will be
more wind resistant than a jacket with
buttons or snaps. A flap of material
over the zipper of a jacket gives additional protection against the wind.
Jackets with snug cuffs and waist are
recommended to keep wind from
blowing in. A large, loose collar can
flap when riding and may irritate skin
or be a distraction.
In cool-weather riding, protect yourself
against hypothermia. Hypothermia, a
condition of low body temperature,
can cause loss of concentration,
slowed reactions and loss of smooth,
precise muscle movement. In cool
conditions, proper protective gear like
a windproof jacket and insulated
layers of clothing are essential. Even
at moderate temperatures, you can
feel very cold due to the wind while
riding.
Protective gear that is appropriate for
cold-weather riding may be too hot
when stopped. Dress in layers so that
clothing can be removed as desired.
Topping the protective gear with a
windproof outer layer can prevent cold
air from reaching the skin.
Riding gear can also help a rider be
more visible. Wearing bright colors is
a wise choice. If a dark jacket is worn,
an inexpensive reflective vest can be
worn over it. It is a good idea to put extra reflective tape on garments worn
regularly while riding.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
63
RIDING GEAR
Rain Gear
If you must ride in wet weather, a rain
suit or a waterproof riding suit is recommended. On long rides, it is a good
idea to carry rain gear. A dry rider will
be much more comfortable and alert
than a rider who is wet and cold.
One or two-piece styles are available,
and those designed specifically for
motorcycling are best. High-visibility
orange or yellow colors are good
choices. A feature to look for is elastic
in the waist, pant legs and sleeves.
The jacket should have a high collar
and zip up with wide flaps across the
opening. When purchasing a rain suit,
consider adding waterproof gloves
and footwear.
Remember, if the weather is wet, it is
best to avoid riding. If you do ride in
wet weather, you may need to stop if
water starts to accumulate on the
road.
Hearing Protection
Long-term exposure to wind and motor noise when riding can cause permanent hearing loss. Properly worn
hearing protective devices such as
earplugs can help prevent hearing
loss. Check local laws before using
any hearing protective devices.

SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE
EXERCISES
Before riding this vehicle on the road,
you need to develop riding skills and
strategies for managing the risks on
the road.
If you have experience with motorcycles or other motor vehicles, pay
particular attention to how the operation and performance of this vehicle
are different from vehicles you are
used to.
The following exercises will familiarize
you with the basic operation of the vehicle. Practice each exercise until you
can perform it proficiently before moving on to the next.
Keep this basic parking lot diagram in
mind when setting up the exercises. 3
m (10 ft) wide parking lot spaces are
indicated in the diagrams for convenience, but the size of the spaces in the
lot you use may be different. If the
parking lot you choose does not have
lines or if the parking spaces are sized
much larger or smaller than the ones
in the diagrams, use the dimensions
shown below. Mark them using a tape
measure and chalk or markers such
as cones or milk containers weighted
with water or sand.
This section includes the following
exercises:
1. Revving the engine and using the
engine stop switch
2. Starting, stopping, and basic
handling
3. Engine stop while in motion
4. Basic turns
5. Quick stops
6. Weaves
7. Swerve
8. Operating in reverse.
Choosing a Practice Area
Perform these exercises in a paved
area at least 30 by 76 m (100 by 250
ft) that is not open to traffic. A closed,
well marked parking lot without obstacles (light poles, curbs, etc.) makes
a good practice area. Be aware of oil
left by parked cars. Look for parking
lots that are empty during off hours,
such as schools, churches, community centers or shopping centers. Do
not trespass on private property.
Once you have selected a suitable location, get permission to use it from
the owner. If there are obstructions,
such as light poles or islands, be sure
that they do not interfere with the required open paths shown in the diagram below.
TYPICAL PARKING LOT
1. At least 30 m (100 ft)
2. At least 75 m (250 ft)
3. 12 m (40 ft)
4. 6 m (20 ft)
5. Open area
Even in a closed lot, be aware of potential traffic. Check to the front, sides
and rear before doing an exercise.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
65
REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE EXERCISES
Also, watch out for children and
animals.
Practice Exercises
1) Revving the Engine and Using
the Engine Stop Switch
Preparing to Ride
Know the location and operation of all
the vehicle controls. Refer to Vehicle
Information section.
Adjust handlebar, footpegs and brake
pedal to meet driver needs. Refer to
Control Components Adjustment in
Equipment section.
Perform the pre-ride inspection. Refer
to Pre-Ride Inspection section.
Always start and stop the engine according to the instructions in Starting
and Stopping the Engine in Basic
Procedures.
Riding Posture
Good posture helps you maneuver the
vehicle more easily. Always keep both
hands and both feet in position so that
you can operate the controls easily.
The wrist should typically be aligned
straight with the arm (this position
helps you apply the amount of throttle
you want). Arms should be relaxed
and bent. Keep your back straight and
your head and eyes up. Keep both
feet on the pegs near the controls.
Never operate the vehicle, even for a
short distance, unless you are in the
proper riding posture.
Purpose
– Become familiar with the operation
of the twist throttle.
– Become familiar with using the engine stop switch.
Directions
– Start with your right foot on the
brake pedal and the park position
lever locked.
– Use the engine stop switch to cut
all power to the vehicle. Press the
switch with your right thumb while
keeping your hand on the
handgrip.
Tips for Additional Practice
– Practice pressing the engine stop
switch without looking at it.
2) Starting, Stopping and Basic
Handling
Purpose
– Learn throttle control and how to
get the vehicle moving.
– Become familiar with low speed
deceleration and braking.
Directions
If you feel like you are losing control
while doing these exercises, release
the throttle to stop accelerating and
apply the brake as needed to slow
down. You can also use the engine
stop switch to cut power entirely.
2a) Apply and Immediately Release
Throttle
Directions
RIDING POSTURE
66
At first, you will only use the throttle
for a moment at a time, then release it
and coast.
– Start the engine and release the
park position lever.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE EXERCISES
– With the brake pedal pressed,
push on the shift lever to ensure
the forward position is selected.
– Release the brake.
– Slowly apply throttle until the vehicle starts to creep forward. As
soon as you start moving release
the throttle and coast, then press
the brake to stop. Repeat to the
end of the straightaway.
– To turn around at the end of the
straightaway, stop, turn the handlebar all the way to the right, then
briefly apply and release the throttle, and coast through the turn.
You may need to briefly apply the
throttle more than once to complete the turn. Stop when you are
in line with the straightaway in the
opposite direction.
– Continue with this part of the exercise until you are comfortable with
applying and releasing the throttle.
2b) Hold Throttle, Release and
Stop Every 12 m (40 ft)
Next, you will be holding the throttle a
little longer, then stopping every 12 m
(40 ft) (every other marker/every
fourth line).
– Again, slowly apply throttle until
the vehicle starts to creep forward.
This time, hold the throttle at this
point.
– As you approach the stopping
point, release the throttle and
press the brake to stop.
– Turn around at the end of the
straightaway as before, except
now you do not need to release
the throttle during the turn. Pay attention to maintaining a steady
throttle position as you turn. Stop
when you are in line with the
straightaway in the opposite
direction.
2c) Hold Throttle, Release and
Stop at Ends
Next, use the entire straightaway,
stopping only at the ends. Keep the
throttle moderate.
3) Engine Stop while in Motion
Purpose
– Become familiar with using the engine stop switch when in motion so
you know how the vehicle will react
if you need to use it later.
Directions
– Partway down the straightaway,
while operating at 8 km/h (5 mi/h),
toggle the engine stop switch to
OFF position and coast to a stop.
– Restart the engine and repeat the
exercise. Try increasing your
speed (to a maximum of 20 km/h
(12 mi/h) before using the engine
stop switch.

4) Basic Turns
Purpose
– Get comfortable turning in a controlled manner.
Directions
This exercise is similar to what you did
before, except that now instead of
stopping for each turn, you will make
the turn at low speed.
– Roll in a straight line. Ride a little
farther from the cones so you can
make a wide arcing turn at the end
of the straightaway.
– As you approach the curve, slow
down to no more than 8 km/h (5
mi/h) by releasing the throttle and
apply brake if needed.
– Hold the throttle to maintain your
low speed.
– Look in the direction of the curve.
– Turn the handlebar in the direction
of the curve, pulling on the inside
handgrip and pushing on the outside, being careful not to apply
throttle.
– Leaning forward and into the curve
may help you turn the handlebar
more easily.
– Straighten your handlebar after the
turn and proceed down the
straightaway.

3. Apex
NOTE:
Motorcyclists - Riding through turns
and curves with this vehicle is different
than on a motorcycle. The vehicle
does not lean during a turn, so you
may need to shift your body weight towards the inside of the turn to keep a
comfortable posture on the vehicle.
You will need to exert more force to
turn the handlebar of your vehicle than
is needed to turn a motorcycle. However, it is easier to stop while turning
than with a motorcycle.
Tips for Additional Practice
– After you are comfortable turning
in one direction, try going around
the course the other way. Be careful not to apply more throttle than
you intend when turning left.
– Stop at the apex of the turn to see
what it is like to use your brakes in
a curve or turn.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE EXERCISES
5) Quick Stops
Purpose
– Become familiar with the vehicle
braking ability.
– Learn to apply brakes with maximum force.
Directions
This exercise is similar to what you did
before, except you’ll be applying the
brake more firmly, working up to braking as hard as possible. The Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) will prevent the
wheels from locking and help you
maintain steering control while applying maximum braking force. Always
release the throttle completely for
quick stops. If you apply throttle and
brake at the same time, your stopping
distance will be longer.
– Start at one end of the straightaway and accelerate to 8 km/h (5
MPH).
Partway down the straightaway,
release the throttle completely and
brake quickly. Never pump the
brake as the ABS will prevent
wheel lock.
– Keep head and eyes up, keep handlebar straight, and do not release
the brake until fully stopped.
– Repeat, increasing your speed
and braking harder.

7) Swerve
Purpose
– Become familiar with the vehicle’s
handling for quick maneuvers.
– Try different variations of braking
and swerving.
Directions
At this point you will need to change
your course. Set up your markers as
shown in the diagram below. Do not
use any fixed or hard, heavy objects
as markers for this exercise.
– Enter between the double cones at
about 8 km/h (5 MPH) and maintain that speed throughout.
– Steer around the line of cones.

REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE EXERCISES
– Exit through the second set of double cones.
– Repeat the exercise multiple
times, swerving in both directions.
8) Operating in Reverse
Purpose
– Become familiar with the vehicle
handling and turning radius in
reverse.
Directions
– Shift into reverse. See Operating
in Reverse in Basic Procedures.
– Check that the area behind you is
clear. Continue to look backwards.
Be careful not to strike anything
with your front wheels as you back
up. Slow and stop by releasing
throttle and using brake, just like
when operating normally.
– Back for a few feet at time, stopping in between.
– Keep your speed low and do not
back up for long distances.
– After you are comfortable with reverse, back into a parking space
as shown in the diagram below.
1. 6 m (20 ft)
2. 3 m (10 ft)
3. 2.5 m (8 ft)
Tips for Additional Practice
– You can gradually increase your
entry speed (to no more than 13 to
19 km/h (8 to 12 MPH) and try
some variations. For example, approach faster and slow before entering the exercise, apply brakes
during the swerve, etc.
– A helper can add an element of
surprise to the exercise by deciding which direction you should
swerve, or if you should come to a
stop instead. Have your helper
stand at a safe distance (e.g., beyond the end of your practice
area). As you reach the first set of
cones, the helper can use hand
signals to indicate which direction
to swerve or for you to stop.
– Practice checking your mirrors and
blind spot before you swerve.

STREET STRATEGIES
This section provides some strategies
to reduce your risk on the road. Many
of these strategies are similar to those
used for motorcycles.
This section is based on guidance for
motorcyclists given by the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation (MSF). However,
even
experienced
motorcyclists
should read this section, as some
strategies are different for a 3-wheel
vehicle.
Plan your Trip
Always check weather conditions before riding the vehicle. Take appropriate gear for any weather you might
encounter.
Plan a route and ride in conditions that
are appropriate for your skill level.
The vehicle has a 20 l (5.3 gal (liq.,
US)) fuel tank. When the low fuel indicator light flashes, fill fuel tank as soon
as possible. Plan your refueling stops,
particularly in unpopulated areas.
Defensive Riding
As with a motorcycle, defensive riding
can help you avoid crashes. You need
to stay alert at all times. Never stop
watching your surroundings, including
the area behind you. Always scan for
potential hazards, plan ahead, and
leave space and time to avoid trouble.
Do not assume other motorists will
see you or follow the rules of the road.
greater margin of safety. For example,
braking distance is longer on slippery
road surfaces, down hills, or when
carrying more weight, and visibility
may be limited in fog, in curves or at
night.
Scanning Ahead
In addition to leaving adequate following distance to the next vehicle, scan
ahead and plan your path even farther
in advance.
Plan your immediate path at least four
seconds ahead. Watch this path for
hazards, such as anything in the road
or anything entering the road.
Scan ahead 12 seconds along your
anticipated path to identify potential
hazardous situations before they happen. For example, look for intersections where other vehicles may
appear or places where pedestrians
might enter the road. Be prepared to
respond if a hazardous situation
develops.
Watch Behind and to the Sides
Vehicles and other hazards can approach from all directions. Constantly
be aware of your surroundings. Check
your mirrors frequently to see directly
behind you. Also do frequent head
checks (turn your head to look) to
monitor your blind spot.
Following Distance
Always leave at least a two-second
following distance between you and
the vehicle in front of you when operating under ideal riding conditions.
This means that you should pass any
fixed point on the road at least two full
seconds after the vehicle in front of
you.
When conditions make braking distance longer, or visibility is limited, use
a longer following distance for a
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STREET STRATEGIES
To Be More Visible to Other
Motorists
Lighting and Reflectors
Make sure that the headlights, running
lights and taillights on your vehicle
work properly. Your vehicle is
equipped with reflectors on the fenders, sides, and back. Make sure that
all reflectors are clean and not broken
or missing.
Use your high beams whenever possible, both day and night. Use low
beams to avoid blinding other motorists at night or when too much light
reflects back, such as in fog.
1. Operator's blind spots
When braking, be particularly aware
of vehicles behind you that may not be
able to stop as quickly than you.
Keep your Eyes Moving
To stay aware of your surroundings,
do not fixate on any one thing. Move
your eyes constantly to monitor the
road, traffic control markings and devices and other vehicles. Look near and
far, in all directions.
Anticipate Trouble
Whenever you notice a potential hazard, plan a way to avoid it. This might
mean adjusting your speed or lane position, or changing lanes. You should
be ready for evasive maneuvers such
as swerving and/or braking if something enters your path. Always leave
time and space to react to trouble.
When possible, flash your brake lights
before slowing and when waiting at intersections, to alert motorists behind
you.
You can also use your horn to attempt
to alert other motorists of your
presence.
Do not assume that other motorists
will notice your lights, signals or horn.
Australian Models
Use your hazard warning lights to
make yourself visible when needed.
Being Visible
Motorists tend not to see smaller vehicles like motorcycles. Therefore you
should use strategies to become more
visible.
74
Signals
Use your turn signals to inform others
of your intentions. The vehicle has automatic canceling turn signals, but
they may not cancel after shallow
turns. Make sure turn signals are off
after you have completed your maneuver; leaving them on may confuse
other motorists.
Blind Spots
Avoid riding in the blind spots of other
vehicles. Position yourself so that drivers ahead can see you in their mirrors.
In some cases, such as when you are
following a truck or a bus, you must be
farther behind the vehicle in front of
you.

the middle of the lane, helping maintain braking and steering ability. If you
are used to driving a car, remember
that you are sit in the center of the vehicle, your perspective is different.
A. Blind spots of other vehicles
Time of Day and Weather
In dim light, such as at night, at dawn
or dusk, or in poor weather such as
rain or fog, you may be harder to see.
Glare at dawn and dusk or very bright
sunlight can also make it harder for
other motorists to see you.
You can move to the left or right part
of the lane, to avoid hazards, keep
distance from other vehicles, or handle curves. You can also move to the
left or right part of the lane to get a
better view or to be seen by other vehicles. Because of the central seat position and the width of the vehicle, it
may be harder to see around traffic,
even when you are near the edge of
the lane. You may need a greater following distance behind wide or tall vehicles. Avoid putting your wheel
outside of the lane to see around traffic. In order for drivers ahead to see
you, you must be able to see their mirrors. When you are being followed by
a large vehicle, passing vehicles may
not be able to see you easily if you are
not in the left part of the lane.
Clothing
Bright colors or reflective clothing can
increase your visibility.
Be Careful Even When Motorists
See You
Even when motorists seem to notice
you, they may still drive in a way that
puts you at risk of a crash. Drive defensively, and do not rely on other motorists to operate their vehicles safely.
Lane Position
Normally, position the vehicle in the
center of the lane. This position keeps
the front tires in the lane. It also provides distance from vehicles in other
lanes, reducing wind from large vehicles and reducing the risk of being
struck by vehicles that leave their
lane. This position also keeps your

Because the vehicle is wider than a
motorcycle, the range of lane positions is smaller. When riding in the left
or right part of the lane be sure that
the front wheels stay in the lane.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
75
STREET STRATEGIES
On multilane roads, choose a lane
that is appropriate for your speed in
the flow of traffic, and also consider
your ability to see and be seen, and
possible paths for evasive maneuvers
(such as swerving into other lanes or
onto the shoulder).
Common Riding Situations
Intersections
Intersections, including small intersections with alleys and driveways,
present an additional risk due to the
cross traffic. Always watch for traffic in
all directions: behind, in front and to
the left and right.
When stopping at an intersection, stop
in the middle of the lane, even if you
are preparing to turn. This can make
you more visible and discourage other
motorists from trying to drive around
you. Watch for vehicles approaching
from behind. Flash your brake lights
as they approach. Be prepared to
move if necessary to avoid a collision.
Lane Changes and Passing
Remember that the vehicle is wider
than a motorcycle and needs more lateral space to pass another vehicle. Also remember that the vehicle is less
visible than a car, so it is particularly
important to signal your lane change
well in advance and check your mirrors and blind spots. Be sure to turn
off your turn signal after changing
lanes; a lane change will not turn the
handlebar far enough to automatically
cancel the signal.
Never drive on the line between two
lanes of traffic (split lanes). The vehicle is too wide.
Never drive on the shoulder to pass
vehicles. If you put one wheel off the
road, you can lose control.
76
Turns
Remember to slow, look, and steer
through turns.
– S l o w : Reduce speed as needed
before entering a turn by rolling off
the throttle and/or using the
brakes. Enter the turn at a speed
that you can maintain throughout
the turn.
Although the vehicle is better able
to brake while turning than a motorcycle, it is still important to slow
down before you enter a turn or
curve rather than braking in the
turn. Braking and turning both require traction. The more traction
you use for braking, the less there
is available for turning at the same
time.
When you take a turn or curve too
fast, you may notice the inside
front wheel lifting off the pavement
and feel and hear VSS cutting
back engine power. While VSS
can help you maintain control, it is
still possible to spin or roll over if
you turn too hard and fast.
– L o o k : Search through the entire
turn and keep your eyes moving.
Evaluate the entire turn as soon as
possible — surface characteristics,
sharpness of the turn, and overall
traffic conditions — so you have
time to make decisions about
speed and position. Sometimes
turning your head in the direction
of the turn helps to keep a good
visual picture.
– S t e e r : Turn the handlebar to steer
the vehicle in the direction of the
turn. This vehicle is not like a motorcycle, so it does not countersteer, and the vehicle does not
lean. Remember, you will experience the lateral force generated by

can also use other vehicles headlights
to see the road ahead.
Curves
Because the vehicle is narrower than
a car, you can move from side to side
in the lane in curves to straighten your
path of travel. But the vehicle is wider
than a motorcycle, so less lateral
movement is possible, and it is important to make sure that your front tires
do not leave the lane.
Do not use tinted or colored visors or
lenses at night, and be particularly
careful that your visor does not have
scratches or smudges.
For typical curves, an outside, inside,
outside path is best.
Group Riding
Ride single file only. Never share
lanes, even with a motorcycle.
When riding with motorcycles, maintain proper following distance from the
motorcycle in front of you, even if they
are riding to one side of the lane. In
curves, do not try to follow the path of
motorcycles. Motorcycles can move
farther to the edges of the lane in
curves — if you follow them exactly,
your front wheel can leave the lane.
Motorcycles may be able to take
curves faster than this vehicle. Do not
try to match their speed.
PATH FOR TYPICAL CURVES
1. Outside
2. Inside (at the apex)
Hills
When stopped, the vehicle can roll regardless of what gear it is in. The
clutch is always disengaged when the
vehicle is stopped, so the transmission will not hold the vehicle in place.
Hold the brake pedal when stopped
on an incline. To start while on an incline, hold the brake pedal as you increase throttle. Release the brake
pedal as you feel the clutch engage.
Night Riding
In addition to using your lights and signals to be seen by other motorists,
consider your own ability to see at
night. Use high beams when appropriate. Avoid overriding your headlight
(riding so fast that you cannot see as
far as your stopping distance). You

Particularly on curvy roads, the riders
might become tired sooner than motorcyclists. Do not push yourself to
keep up with motorcycles; stop if you
are tired.
Road Conditions and
Hazards
Ice, Snow and Slush
Do not ride on ice, snow or slush.
Even with VSS, there will not be
enough traction to maintain control on
these slippery surfaces. This vehicle
is more likely than a car to spin out of
control in slippery surfaces.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
77
STREET STRATEGIES
Gravel, Dirt and Sand
On gravel, dirt, or sand-covered
roads, use extra caution and reduce
your speed, particularly for curves.
These surfaces do not provide as
much traction as paved surfaces and
you can lose control, even with VSS.
NOTE:
The pressure difference between the
left and right side tire should not exceed 3.4 kPa (.5 lbf/in²).
Wet Pavement and Puddles
There is normally enough traction to
maintain control on pavement that is
moist or wet, as long as there is not a
layer of water on top of the pavement
(like a puddle or flowing water on the
road). As with other vehicles, the vehicle can hydroplane if you drive too
fast over water that has accumulated
on the road, but hydroplaning occurs
at lower speeds than with most cars or
motorcycles. You are more likely to
hydroplane in deeper water. Watch for
splashing or spraying when other vehicles go through water as an indicator of depth.
The middle of a lane can be particularly slick in the first few minutes of
rain, as oil and dirt combine with the
water. After more rain, water can accumulate in ruts in worn pavement.
Avoid both of these low traction areas.
When possible, keep your front tires in
areas with the best traction.
When hydroplaning occurs, one or
more wheels rise up on a layer of
water, losing contact with the road. If
this happens to the rear wheel, you
may feel it slide sideways. Hydroplaning wheels do not have the traction
necessary to control the vehicle. You
can lose control and spin out, and the
VSS cannot keep you in control.
Avoid large water puddles or water
streams, and slow down or pull off the
road during heavy rains. If you must
pass through water, slow down as
much as possible before you reach it.
After passing through water, test your
brakes. Apply them several times if
necessary to let friction dry the brake
pads.
Immediately replace any tire that
shows the maximum tread wear indicator to minimize risk of hydroplaning.
Off-Road Use
Do not use your vehicle off road. The
vehicle cannot handle the rough, low-traction, uneven surfaces that you
may encounter in off-road riding. You
could easily get stuck, lose control or
roll over. Also, it may be illegal for off-road use in certain areas.
Ryker Rally 900ACE
Even if this vehicle is designated as
an all-road vehicle, i t i s n o t a n o f f - road vehicle.
This vehicle was designed to be able
to drive on compact non-asphalted
roads (gravel, earth, sand).
The RALLY mode may be activated to
improve the riding experience.
This mode must only be used when
riding on unpaved roads.
Properly maintained tires reduce the
risk of hydroplaning. Always maintain
recommended tire pressure:
Obstacles, Holes and Bumps
Whenever possible, avoid riding over
obstacles, holes and bumps. If you
must ride over them, slow down as
much as possible before you get
there, then release the brake as you
go over.
Refer to Tire Pressure in Maintenance
Procedures section
For wide obstacles or bumps, approach straight on if possible, so that
78
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STREET STRATEGIES
both front tires go over at the same
time. When going over an obstacle,
bump or hole with both front wheels,
riders should stand up slightly on the
pegs and use legs to absorb the
shock. Be prepared for the rear wheel
to strike the obstacle.
CAUTION
Due to vehicle design, your heels
may scrub on ground in some situations. Think to lift them when
crossing an obstacle, a hole or a
bump.
For narrower obstacles, bumps or
holes, it is better to ride over it with the
rear tire. If you ride over them with a
front tire, maintain a firm grip on the
handlebar, take care not to accidentally applying the throttle and be prepared to correct your trajectory if
necessary.
If you strike a large enough obstacle,
bump or hole, the impact can make
the vehicle jump and strike you, eject
riders, make you lose control, spin or
roll over.
If you can’t come to a complete stop in
time to avoid an obstacle, you can
swerve to avoid it. You can swerve
and brake at the same time if
necessary.
If you encounter a large animal in the
road, like a deer, it is best to stop before reaching it and wait until the animal leaves, or go past slowly.
If a dog chases you, a good strategy
is to slow down and downshift as the
dog approaches, then accelerate
away as you get closer to where the
dog would intercept you.
On-Road Emergencies
A vehicle malfunction or an unexpected situation can occur any time
during a ride. A well-maintained vehicle can help reduce the risk of
malfunction, but you should still be
prepared for an emergency.
– Always have the Operator's Guide
in the vehicle.
– When stopping on the road, follow
these precautions:
– If the road has paved shoulders, signal your intention to pull
off the highway, pull off at near
traffic speed, then slow down to
a complete stop.
– If the shoulder is unpaved, signal your intention to pull off the
roadway, slow down to a safe
speed before pulling off the
paved roadway and stop the
vehicle.
– Let the turn signal activated to
increase your visibility.
– On models equipped with hazard warning lights, activate
them to increase your visibility.
– If you have cellular phone or other
communication device, fully
charge it before long rides.
– If you are involved in an accident,
BRP strongly recommends that
you have your vehicle transported
(see Transporting the Vehicle) to
the nearest Can-Am On-Road
dealer to have it thoroughly inspected for safety before riding
again.
Tire Failure
If a tire failure or a blowout suddenly
occurs, firmly grip the handlebar,
gradually slow down and carefully
steer to a safe place to stop. Avoid
hard braking, downshifting, or sharp
steering. If a front tire fails, the vehicle
may tend to pull in the direction of the
failed tire, so you will need to maintain
a firm grip on the handlebar to control
your direction. Refer to Road Side Repairs section for instructions on tire
repair.

Excess weight will:
– Reduce your ability to accelerate,

– Reduce the effectiveness of the
VSS.
– Increase the risk of rolling over if
the weight is high or toward the
rear.
– Reduce ground clearance, increasing the risk of striking low obstacles or uneven road surfaces.

Increase the risk of tire failure.
1. You will not be able to accelerate
as quickly. Allow more time and
space for passing.
2. You will not be able to stop as
quickly. Use a longer following distance from the vehicle in front of
you, at least three seconds. Use
an even longer distance if riding
conditions are not ideal (e. g., low
visibility, poor road surface).
3. You will not be able to turn as
sharply or at as high a speed. Slow
down more than usual before turning and avoid sharp turns.
4. The vehicle may be less stable.
There is a greater risk of tipping or
rolling during extreme maneuvers
with weight that is higher or farther
to the rear (like a passenger).
NOTE:
VSS effectiveness is decreased when
operating above maximum allowed
load.
Carrying a Passenger
This vehicle is designed to carry only
one passenger behind the operator
when equipped with an approved passenger's seat kit. Never try to carry
more than one passenger.
WARNING
Never carry a passenger if an approved passenger's seat kit is not
installed on vehicle.
Fully deploy both footpegs when carrying a passenger.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CARRYING A PASSENGER OR CARGO
The passenger icon
will appear in
the cluster gauge to indicate that the
VSS is now in passenger mode.
Do not carry a passenger until you
have experience riding alone in a variety of conditions and can proficiently
handle the vehicle.
The passenger must be sober, alert,
able to reach the passenger footrests
and handholds, maintain balance and
hold on in sudden maneuvers, and not
distract the operator.
Be sure the passenger is wearing appropriate protective gear. The passenger should wear all of the protective
gear recommended for the operator,
particularly a helmet. A full-face helmet is recommended; in a sudden
stop, the passenger’s face can strike
the back of the operator's helmet.
Keep the brakes applied until the passenger is in riding position.
Instruct the passenger on how to ride
before starting out. Have the passenger follow these rules:
1. Maintain proper riding position.
– Hold the passenger handholds
and keep feet on the passenger footrests at all times, even
with an accessory backrest.
– The passenger should not hold
on to the operator as the operator may not be able to withstand the lateral force
generated by both.
– Different gripping positions on
the handholds may be more
comfortable for different maneuvers. (e.g., one hand at the
front corner of and one hand at
the opposite back corner for
turns, both hands further
forward or back for other
situations).
NOTICE
Never use handholds to tie down,
lift or transport vehicle.
2. Stay clear of the exhaust pipe and
the rear wheel.
3. Avoid turning around or leaning
except to keep balance in a turn. In
an unexpected maneuver, a passenger who is not in the normal riding position is more likely to fall off.
4. Watch the road and respond to upcoming road conditions. Lean into
curves as needed to resist any
sideways force. When crossing an
obstacle, hole or bump, rise
slightly off the seat without locking
your elbows.
Avoid abrupt acceleration, braking
and turns, especially with inexperienced passengers. Sudden, unexpected maneuvers can make the
passenger fall off.
Where to Store Cargo
You can carry small personal items in
the glove box. Do not carry cargo in
any other location unless the vehicle
is equipped with approved BRP
accessories.
Towing a Trailer
Do not tow anything with the vehicle, it
is not designed for this application.
In addition, the VSS will not be effective, you will be more likely to lose
control.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintenance is very important for keeping your vehicle in safe operating
condition.
The vehicle should be serviced as per the maintenance schedule.
Proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. A warranty claim may be denied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused the problem through
improper maintenance or use.
Perform periodic checks and follow the maintenance schedule. T h e m a i n t e nance schedule does not exempt the pre-ride inspection.
WARNING
Failure to properly maintain the vehicle according to the maintenance
schedule and procedures can make it unsafe to operate.
EPA Regulation - Canadian and USA Vehicles
A repair shop or person of the owner's choosing may maintain, replace, or
r e p a i r emission control devices and systems. These instructions do not require
components or service by BRP or authorized Can-Am On-Road dealers.
Although an authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer has an in-depth technical
knowledge and tools to service your vehicle, the emission-related warranty is not
conditioned on the use of an authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer or any other
establishment with which BRP has a commercial relationship.
Proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. A warranty claim may be denied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused the problem through
improper maintenance or use.
For emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis and repair of
emission-related parts to the authorized Can-Am On-Road dealers. For more information, please refer to the US EPA Emissions Performance Warranty contained in the Warranty section.
You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the fueling section of this
manual. Even if gasoline containing greater than ten volume percent ethanol is
readily available, the US EPA issued a prohibition against the use of gasoline
containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol that applies to this vehicle. The use of
gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol with this engine may harm the
emission control system.
Severe Dusty or Wet Conditions – Air Filter Maintenance
Guideline
Engine air filter and CVT air filter maintenance should be adjusted according to
riding conditions.
Air filter maintenance must be increased in frequency when riding on dry sand,
dirt, gravel or similar conditions which have high dust or particle dispersion. Also
frequently driving in rain and high traffic increases the air particles being trapped
by the air filter(s).
108
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Riding in a group in these conditions would increase even more the filters
maintenance.
Maintenance Schedule
Make sure to perform proper maintenance at recommended intervals as indicated in the tables.
The maintenance chart indicates the items needing to be addressed based on 2
criteria, whichever happens first:
– Calendar time
– Odometer reading.
Your driving habits will determine which criteria you should adhere too. For
example:
– Someone who uses their vehicle daily or for frequent long weekend rides
would follow the o d o m e t e r r e a d i n g to determine the frequency of his
maintenance.
– Someone using their vehicle seldomly over the year or only on a few occasions (vacation, short rides every few weekends) would follow the c a l e n d a r
t i m e to determine the frequency of his maintenance.
I M P O R T A N T : The following table shows the appropriate maintenance application for the first 2 years. For subsequent years, repeat the same pattern

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
This section includes instructions for
basic maintenance procedures.
Due to the complexity of some maintenance procedures, a good mechanical
skill is required.
Several procedures must be done by
an authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer, repair shop, or person of your own
choosing.
If you are not comfortable with the mechanics, do not hesitate to contact an
authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer,
repair shop, or person of your own
choosing.
WARNING
Turn off the engine and follow
these maintenance procedures
when performing maintenance. If
you do not follow proper maintenance procedures you can be injured by hot parts, moving parts,
electricity, chemicals or other
hazards.
Tires
WARNING
Tires that are not the recommended type, damaged, worn
down below the minimum tread
wear limit indicator or improperly
inflated can cause loss of control.
New tires will not operate at their
maximum efficiency until their
break-in is completed. Braking,
steering and VSS performance
may be reduced, so use extra
caution. Tires take about 300 km
(200 mi) of riding with frequent
braking to break-in. For riding with
infrequent braking, allow extra
time to break-in the tires.
The tires have been specifically designed for this vehicle. Use only the
BRP recommended radial tires, which
can be ordered only from an authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer.
118
Tire Pressure
Use the recommended cold inflation
pressure for optimum tire performance
and wear. Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause uneven tread wear
patterns.
Recommended tire inflation pressure
is found on the Tire Label located inside the right side service cover.
When weather temperature changes
occur, tire inflation pressures also
change. A drop of 6° C (10° F) can
cause a corresponding drop of 1 psi (7
kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your
tire pressures frequently and adjust
them to the proper pressure
NOTE:
The pressure difference between the
left and right side tire should not exceed 3.4 kPa (.5 lbf/in²).
Tire Damage
Check all tires for:
– Cuts, slits and cracks in the tires.
– Bumps or bulges in the side of the
tire or the tread.
– Nails or other foreign objects in the
side of the tire or tread.
– Air leaks (hissing sound) caused
by an ill-fitting rim or a faulty tire
valve.
If any of the above occurs, have the
tire repaired or replaced as soon as
possible by an authorized Can-Am
On-Road dealer.
Tire Tread Wear
Check minimum tread depth by using
the tread-wear indicators (hard rubber
bars molded at the base of the tread;
1 in figure below). Check in three locations across the tire tread:
– Outer edge
– Center
– Inside edge.
The tread-wear indicators will appear
across the treads that have been worn
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
down to the minimum tread depth.
When at least one tread-wear indicator appears across the tread, have the
tire replaced as soon as possible by
an authorized Can-Am On-Road
dealer.
Tires Rotation
Rotate front tires when tread depth
reaches 4 mm (5/32 in). This will maximize tire life.
The rear tire owns 2 types of wear indicator, one for the regular use and
another for the use on a wet surface.
Regular tread-wear limit indicators are
indicated by a triangle symbol and the
ones for the wet surface use are indicated by a water droplet symbol.
Do not hold the front wheel spoke
while attempting to spin the front
wheel as your fingers may be
caught between the wheel and the
brake caliper.
WARNING
It is not recommended to use the
vehicle on a wet road if the tread-wear limit indicators for wet surface use are reached or near to be
reached. Replace the tire for your
safety.

4. Regular tread-wear limit indicator symbols
It is normal to see uneven wear on
tires depending on how the vehicle is
driven and road conditions. The front
tires external or internal edges and
the rear tire center tread will wear unevenly depending on if the vehicle is
driven smoothly or aggressively.
CAUTION
Tire Registration Form
In the event of a tire recall, we can only contact you if we have your name
and address. As a vehicle manufacturer, BRP keeps a record of the Tire
Identification Number (T. I. N.) associated with the Vehicle Identification
Number (V. I. N.) (see Vehicle Identification) and its current owner
information.
If you replace any tire on your vehicle,
a "Tire Registration Form" must be
completed and sent to the tire manufacturer consumer service group. The
“Tire Registration Form” is available at
an authorized Can-Am On-Road
dealer.

US EPA EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
Under the Emissions Performance Warranty, BRP shall be liable for the total cost
of the remedy for any Product validly presented for repair to any authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer, unless for emergency repairs as required by item 2 of the
following list. State or local limitations as to the extent of the penalty or sanction
imposed upon an owner of a failed Product shall have no bearing on this liability.
In no case may BRP deny an emission performance warranty claim on the basis
of:
1. Warranty work or predelivery service performed by any facility authorized by
BRP to perform such work or service; or
2. Work performed in an emergency situation to rectify an unsafe condition, including an unsafe driveability condition, attributable to BRP, provided the
Product owner has taken steps to put the Product back in a conforming condition in a timely manner; or

for proper maintenance and use which is not relevant to the reason that the
Product failed to comply with applicable emission standards; or
4. Any cause attributable to BRP; or
5. The use of any fuel which is commonly available in the geographical area in
which the Product is located, unless the written instructions for proper maintenance and use specify that the use of that fuel would adversely affect the
emission control devices and systems of the Product, and there is commonly
available information for the owner to identify the proper fuel to be used. See
maintenance information section and fuel requirements of fueling section.
Except as stated in the previous items; BRP may deny an emission performance
warranty claim on the basis of an uncertified aftermarket part used in the maintenance or repair of a Product if the use of the uncertified part caused the Product’s
failure to meet emission standards. The use of parts not equivalent to the original
parts or uncertified aftermarket parts may have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the emission control system and results in the Product’s failure to
meet emission standards. The use of certified parts does not affect the emission
performance warranty. M a i n t e n a n c e , r e p l a c e m e n t , o r r e p a i r o f t h e e m i s s i o n
control devices and systems may be performed by any motorcycle repair

presentation of the Product to an authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer, then the
owner shall be entitled to have the warranty remedy performed, at the expense
of BRP, by any repair facility of the owner’s choosing.
All defective parts replaced under this warranty become the property of BRP.

applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board pursuant to its authority in chapters 1 and 2, part 5, division 26 of the Health and Safety Code;
and
194
CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
– is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the failure of a
warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part as described
in the vehicle manufacturer's application for certification.
This warranty begins on the date the vehicle is delivered to the first purchaser
other than an authorized dealer, or the date it is first used as a demonstrator,
lease, or company vehicle, whichever comes first and continues for the time or
mileage listed below.
The Emissions Control System Defects Warranty is in addition to BRP Limited
Warranty.
The warranty on emissions-related parts shall function as follows:
1. Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions shall be warranted for the warranty period
defined below. If any such part fails during the warranty period, it shall be repaired or replaced by BRP. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
2. Any warranted part which is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions shall be warranted for the warranty period defined below. A
statement in such written instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" shall not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the remaining
warranty period.
3. Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions shall be warranted for the period of time or
mileage, whichever first occurs, prior to the first scheduled replacement point
for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement point, the
part shall be repaired or replaced by BRP. Any such part repaired or replaced
under warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the
first scheduled replacement point for the part.
4. Repair or replacement of any warranted part shall be performed at no charge
to the vehicle owner, at a warranty station, except in the case of an emergency when a warranted part or a warranty station is not reasonably available
to the vehicle owner. In an emergency, repairs may be performed at any
available service establishment, or by the owner, using any replacement part.
BRP shall reimburse the owner for his or her expenses including diagnostic
charges for such emergency repair or replacement, not to exceed the manufacturer's suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor
charges based on the manufacturer's recommended time allowance for the
warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. A vehicle owner may reasonably be required to keep receipts and failed parts in
order to receive compensation for warranted repairs reimbursable due to an
emergency, provided the manufacturer's written instructions advise the owner
of his obligation.
5. Warranty services or repairs shall be provided at all BRP's dealership which
are franchised to service the subject vehicles.
6. The vehicle owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the
determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
7. BRP shall be liable for damages to other vehicle components proximately
caused by a failure under warranty any warranted part.
195
CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
8. The lack of availability of such parts or the incompleteness of repairs within a
reasonable time period, not to exceed 30 days from the time the vehicle is initially presented to the warranty station for repair, shall constitute an
emergency.
9. Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any maintenance or
repairs. Any replacement part designated by a manufacturer may be used in
warranty repairs provided without charge to the vehicle owner. Such use shall
not reduce the warranty obligations of the vehicle or engine manufacturer, except that BRP shall not be liable for repair or replacement of any replacement
part which is not a warranted part (except as provided under subsection (7)).
10. Any add-on or modified part exempted by the Air Resources Board from the
prohibitions of section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code may be used on
a vehicle. Such use, in and of itself, shall not be grounds for disallowing a
warranty claim made in accordance with this article. BRP shall not be liable
under this article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of
an add-on or modified part.
Warranty Period
5 years or 30 000 km (18 641 mi), whichever first occurs.
Exclusions

coverage, shall be excluded for such warranty coverage if BRP demonstrates
that the vehicle has been abused, neglected, or improperly maintained, and that
such abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance was the direct cause of the need
for the repair or replacement.
Except as provided above, any adjustment of a component which as a factory installed, and properly operating, adjustment limiting device is eligible for warranty
coverage.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS AND OWNERSHIP
If your address has changed or if you are the new owner of the vehicle, be sure
to notify BRP by either:
– Notifying an authorized Can-Am dealer.
– N o r t h A m e r i c a O n l y : calling at 1 888 272-9222.
– Mailing one of the change of address cards on the following pages at one of
the BRP addresses indicated in the Contact Us section of this guide.
In case of change of ownership, please join a proof that the former owner agreed
to the transfer.
Notifying BRP, even after the expiration of the limited warranty, is very important
as it enables BRP to reach the vehicle owner if necessary, like when safety recalls are initiated. It is the owner’s responsibility to notify BRP.
S T O L E N U N I T S : If your personal vehicle is stolen, you should notify BRP or an
authorized Can-Am dealer. We will ask you to provide your name, address,
phone number, the vehicle identification number and the date it was stolen.
