Thank you again - we shall see.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
My 2022 Ryker keys are interchangeable...

While out on another run yesterday in basically the same direction as one of the dealers I’d mentioned, I decided to make the full 25 mile jaunt to check on the key question. Initially, the question didn’t register with their service manager, but he persevered in his search through the model’s recall service history from BRP. He eventually found it, and it appears that the freebie service is good until sometime in 2027. He said that “the key” had to be programmed into the bike’s system, but he also gave me the impression that my existing keys already had that capability. **I'm concerned that he may be a little confused on that part of it.
He said they couldn’t take care of it now (they were extremely busy with new bikes going out the door) and suggested I make an appointment for some time after the holiday rush, which I will.
** If you look in BRP’s on-line parts diagram for the 2022 Ryker Sport, they only list one key type, a “Dess Key, RF Type”. Nothing mentioned about any “magnetic type”. I’d really hate for them to get part way through the programming function only to find they don’t have the correct key installed. I’m going ask him to please get a verbal verification from BRP just to make sure before we get to that point.

Thanks Sarah.
If the there is only one type of key, and they are the RF type, then they will have to be flashed with a code, which the machine may already possess in memory. If not, then the dealer will have to initiate the code that I assume BRP would provide to get the key and machine talking to one another. Not sure how that part of works.
If the keys you had, and I now have, are truly dumb magnetic keys, they have to be replaced with the smart types and flashed with the appropriate coding. That's basically what has to be done if you have to get new key FOBs for your car.

I recall the dealer flashing up a spare key for my Rally when I purchased it. Was all done in a few minutes via a laptop.
