To update the software on 2019-2022 FTR models equipped with the 4.3" Display powered by RIDE COMMAND, follow these steps.
Note: A 1 GB or larger USB is required to update your FTR. FAT32 or exFAT® formats are supported. For step-by-step instructions on formatting the drive, read the Formatting a USB to FAT32 or exFAT® article.
1. Download the update from the RIDE COMMAND website. A wired internet connection is recommended, if available. Select the 2019-2022 FTR update option.

3. Save the update file to a removable USB drive.
4. Hook the bike up to a trickle charger before starting the download. Turn the ignition to the ON position so that the electrical is running but the engine is not.​​​
