Parking brake doesn't release.
Want to move my 2011 Spyder RT but can't release the Parking brake. Engine on, engine off, foot on brake, foot off brake, nothing works. Windshield still works. No codes on the display as far as I can tell.
The switch sounds anemic when compared to the sound made by other switches in the row. Anyone have any experience with this problem?
Thanks in advance.

We will be taking our 16 F3T in on Tuesday for the same problem...

There is a recall on parking brake motors for the RT models and the f3t uses the same motor but not included in the recall . Dealer says the part is unavailable right now . Imagine that !!!!!!:hun:
Thanks for your post Billy.... our F3T also was intermittent and finally Friday the last time when the parking brake was set, it didn't release.
Going to Pikes Peak Motorsports Tuesday to have them replace the parking brake motor - previous codes were PO571 and P1571!
Got the bike home with a new parking brake motor installed today by Pikes Peak Motos
Had one episode in Utah last September and the Dealer in St George cleared the PO571 codes, and all was good until about ten days ago when the motor again failed to set the brake,
and BEEP, BEEP, BEEP until the 15 second serenade was over. Then it was more frequent on our trip to the Deadwood 3WR until the motor failed with the parking brake applied.
Outdoor Motorsports in Spearfish SD was over the top in getting it in and diagnosing the failed motor assembly. Thanks to Service Manager, Jon Valentine and tech Alec for the diagnosis!!!
Jon went the extra mile and located a motor and had Pikes Peak put their hands on it and Service Advisor Dave Noad met us when we showed up at 9AM, and had the bike ready before noon.
We also asked them to look at a sticking throttle, and they were kind enough to remedy that while also pointing out an interference with the screw holding the aftermarket cup holder.
Thanks again to Jon Valentine in Spearfish and Dave Noad for getting us in while on the road and getting our dilemna diagnosed and repaired!!!
