Parking brake stuck on

[mini73]

Was going to ride the F3S tomorrow but the parking brake will not let go. I tried putting it in gear while on, rocking back and forth etc... any ideas? Maybe adjusting the brake at the rear wheel?

Iv'e repeated trying to release the parking brake and it still will not release to allow me to move the spyder! Any ideas? If I were to try to take it to the dealer I would not be able too!!!!

If you still have warranty, call road side assistance and test the value of that service

Push the brake pedal like you want to brake it off and touch the release. Good luck

Ron F3 owner happened to me at US customs

I believe there is a way to release it - others have posted. Something to do with releasing/undoing something near the back brake bits.

maybe try a search?

Hopefully somebody who knows more will chip in...

sorry rbell, just saw your post - sounds much better!

The park brake is cable operated. On the rear wheel right side you will find where that cable adjuster is attached. Loosen the nuts so you can release the cable. You will be able to move about but still need to find the problem...

And keep a brick handy so the Spyder doesn't roll away!

I have a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5 with just over 23,000 miles. The other day, I had pulled into a gas station, set the parking brake, filled the tank, then released the parking brake. Or so I thought. The bike would neither move in the forward or reverse direction, rather like I had a foot on the brake itself. I didn't. Turned the ignition off, then back on, the indicator warning, parking brake fault came on. The bike moved freely going forward, and in reverse, but the parking brake would not engage when placed into neutral. As well, putting it in gear in a parked position, has no effect. The bike still easily moves, forward or reverse. I asked the local dealership if the bike could still be driven safely with the PBF indicated, and was told, yes. Just so long as a brake fault itself did not appear, meaning the foot brake would no longer be functioning.
The operator's manual states that when the parking brake fault light appears, the likely culprits are fuse number 3, and the parking brake sensor. I've checked the fuse and found it to be just fine.
