Brake failure light
I have a 2014 RT-S and today I was riding and a brake failure light came on. It switched from a message to changing the entire screen to orange with the message. It lit up like the parking break was set when it wasn't. It did NOT effect the ride. I stopped at a light and shut off my bike and then re-started it. That did not help. Then I pulled into a park, shut down the bike and left it for 5 minutes. When I restarted it the error was gone? Any ideas?

Double check your fluid they are hyper sensitive & only a teaspoon low can trigger warning. Other than that it is park & wait 20-30m with key a good distance away, helps let system reset. Cycle the park brake & see if you can hear it engage & disengage. Continued problems get to dealer

Were you pointed downhill when it first came on? When the entire screen had the message it likely said low brake fluid in the upper left side of the screen. Top off the fluid and have your pads checked. The brake light indicator was on steady which indicates the malfunction, when the light flashes that indicates the parking brake is engaged.

Agree with Spyder Ann. If you were on a hill, AND the fluid is about a teaspoon or so low, the warning light can go on. An easy fix--if that is the situation.
