IMHO, the likelihood of you losing your brakes are slim.....the sensor in the Spyders is HYPER-sensitive in detecting even a very small amount of LOW fluid........make sure the cap area is clean before you open and do not add more than one teaspoon at a time......because it's easy to overfill...........Also be very careful screwing the caps back on...cross-threading will cause them/it to leak and brake fluid is close to BATTERY ACID in corrosiveness ....good luck...Mike

check that your brake switch is not sticking. Seems to a growing problem. Double think if you were ryding with your foot on the pedal. Start with the fluid...

if topping off the brake fluid fixes it, be sure to chk the brake pads for wear, as they wear down the level of your reservoir goes down, so if you ad fluid, and then replace your pads the fluid will over flow the reservoir during the repair.
