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.

Did not know that. Another way to save. Don't use my flashers on the Spyders much if any though.

Interestingly, motorcycles are not required to have hazard warning lights. This is from the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, FMVSS 108. Code of Federal Regulations §571.108 Standard No. 108; Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.
Since the Feds categorize Spyders as motorcycles it looks like BRP decided that if ain't required, we ain't putting it on. However, according to the Owner's Manual Russian and Australian versions do have the hazard flashers.
The Russians got one up on us???? :shocked:

Re: the parking brake. Does Australian law require the parking brake to be capable of actually being locked, or is BRP using the lock as a means to comply with an Aussie law that the parking brake must be made secure against accidental release? In other words, is the use of a key required?
What kind of extra lighting does Oz require?
Not sure if the parking brake lock is required as a theft deterrent and/or in case of accidental release. Normally it would be a steering lock as with other motorcycles and cars and they do not have parking brake locks. Would have to look it up to be certain. If it was an electronic lock I think that would be fine as long as mobility of the vehicle is restricted. Red indicators are a no no out here they must be amber. Also there are requirements for distance apart and height from the road for all lighting. A reversing light is also required as it has a reverse gear and the light must be white. There are wing lights for low beam and the centre lights are for high beam and 4 separate indicators on our model. Regs vary in some cases state to state but overriding that are our Aussie design rules. We do have at times some odd requirements and at times there seems to be knee jerk reactions to anything new until eventually common sense prevails.

If anyone is interested... a BRP Ryker engineer gave me the part number for the Russian/Australian hazard flasher kit... BRP P/N: 219400932
I plan to order mine next week, but I'm not sure if US dealers can order it or not... we'll see. I checked the BRP instructions site, but nothing was found for that number: http://instructions.brp.com/e-instruction.html#tab=1&sku=219400932

It might be nigh impossible to find it. Believe it or not a Google search on that part number brings up this thread and a couple of ads, and that is it. One of the fewest hit scores I've ever seen for a Google search!! Even eBay Australia has no hits.
Not surprising really
After all, us Aussies don't need to order the 4way flasher kit, cos it's part of the gear that comes in the crate as delivered from the manufacturer, so by the time we as buyers get to see them, that kit is already fitted on the Rykers! (Well, it will, whenever they eventually get released for sale here!) :thumbup:I get a funny feeling that this stuff is probly gonna be a 'factory only' kit that you'll hafta buy direct from BRP somehow! :dontknow:

Did You get the 4way flasher for the Ryker
I recall a prior post on this topic referencing the Russian hazard kit. I believe it is simply a handlebar switch with instructions on how to splice it into the harness. You might find it if you search the forum on hazards.
The alternative is put the bike in reverse with parking brake on. That will activate the flasher function.

After looking at the wiring on the Ryker I don't think it will work.
meaning it WILL work?
Reverse flasher disabled when parking brake applied.
