I just picked up a slightly used 2019 Ryker 900 and was maneuvering it around in the garage. When i turn the handle bars in one direction all the way the front fender touches the A arm. however in the other direction it does not. It is close but does not touch. Is something wonky that requires adjustment? What should I be looking for?

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 fenders come very close to lower control arms.
Are the 4 bolts securing the fenders snug?

Fender Running on A-arm Update - BRP Comments
I just had my ryker in for its first service. They advised that in discussing this with BRP that they are aware of the issue but don't have a fix at this point. Which I take to mean nothing will ever happen other than on future models. The dealer said they checked the alignment and everything is okay. So I can assume for us with, at least, a 2019 that this is "normal".

Just checked my 2019. The right fender hits on right turn. The left fender has ample clearance. My assumption is that right hand turns, being sharper, maybe there is more angle built in for that. I didn't check relative maximum turn angle side to side. There is a molded indent that is suppose to give the needed clearance. It lines up well on the left fender. It's too low and not far enough back on the right fender. The A-Arm hits above the indent. And would hit anyway even if the indent were moved up because it doesn't extend far enough to the rear of the fender. I don't think it will do any harm. But it is an unfortunate oversite by BRP engineers.

Hey, guys. I took delivery of a 2022 Ryker Sport last week. I live in Northern IL and it's way too cold for me to ride, plus I don't want to be riding in salt. I had the dealer deliver the Ryker to my house. I've been a longtime lurker here and I preordered the Sport on the first day BRP took the order last year.
Yesterday was the first time I had a chance to do a bit of inspection beyond a quick lookover for damage when I got it. I noticed that the right wheel fender bumps the A-arm and touches the suspension spring with the bars fully deflected to the right. I can hear the plastic fender tapping when it bumps. It also makes a similar plastic tap at the right wheel when I turn the bars fully left. I haven't found what might be bumping on the right wheel when it's turned to the left yet. The left wheel fender has no clearance problems with either turn.
I left a message for my dealer sales guy about this to see what he has to say. Unfortunately, it looks like this might be normal for them. Is that really the case?
Thanks!
Jon
