 Storage and parking brake?
When you store your bike for the long winter. Do you have parking brake on or off.

In a word....off. Cable is relaxed.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Parking Brake & Long Storage?
 Well, I'm still confused about your question. I have always stored my Spyder with the Parking Brake on.
That being said, I guess you could block the wheels and store it with the Parking Brake off.
Also, maybe you might raise the Spyder 'UP OFF' the Tires. SO that they don't set (Flat Spot).....

There's been quite a few parking brakes who got stuck.
So no off season here, but I leave it in the garage always with wheels blocked and the parking off.
Also leave it with the key in the ignition, not sure about this one but I believe that could help to avoid key programming issues.

There is a cable lube for that.

Thanks Peter, that's a great answer. I like to leave it off so I can move it around in my congested shop. Anyone want to come over and help cleanup/out my shop?

What benefit are you thinking that may offer? Once the brake is set there is no power draw by it.
