    Default Do all Spyders have four way flashers standard?

    I just saw a video of a Spyder with four way flashers going and was wondering if mine does (2012 rt) and I just don't know how to activate them? I did look for the Red Triangle Symbol on the dash area. I guess I should check the owners manual( a large copied binder that the previous owner supplied with the bike, minus a few pages)

    Always let us know the model and year of your Byke or put the information in your signature.

    The emergency flasher button is usually on the top of the right handlebar grip controls.

    Default Yes...

    All spyders come with the fourway flasher. They are located on the hand controls on all but a bit different from model to model....

    The Spyder is classified as a motorcycle.
    4-ways are NOT required on motorcycles.

    Didn't some of the early Spyder models have the feature where all 4 flashers activated when the ryder selected reverse, possibly instead of having a reversing light?!?

    Not just early models. All RS and ST models do this right up to the end of production. They do not have reverse lights.
