That's what I was thinking.

I've done everything suggested here - tried reset every day for over a month, bled brakes, ect... didnt work... Yes, contacted Ride Now and just contacted Nash yesterday... I've heard good things about Sierra, but again not an option... If I still had my Goldwing I'd have 100 choices for repair! The BUDS system is only available to a handfull of dealers around here... It WILL be for sale very quickly as soon as its sorted out!

So, it isn't a hanging caliper piston...
Only SLOW people have to leave on time...

What is the history of this bike? Did you buy it from an individual or a dealer?

If you can remove the calipers, easily done, then it is very do-able. Not rocket science. A lot less expensive and much quicker than going to a dealership.

On the 2010 to 2012 models, the oil low switches are not supervised. you can just unplug the connector under the brake fluid tank. On 2013 and up the circuit is supervised. Shawn Smoak had a video on it awhile back. I know this is not the problem you are having. Bruce

Yea I can remove the calipers but still need dealer for reset and I have no idea why its also showing parking brake failure now also! Very low miles bought from an 85 yr old gentleman with all maintenance receipts ..owned for 4 years

If you haven't already, then give this a try. Works for me. Good luck.
This happens with our (2) 2014 bikes also. Just need a sip of fluid.

Did that, first thing... didn't reset! I have an appointment for service... still 3 more weeks away and they said backlog is 2 weeks beyond that! So I'll be without the Spyder for over 3 months! Like I said, I looked at a Vanderhall and now a Slingshot..Those dealers are out of their minds! I've asked/visited no less than 15 Vanderhall and Slingshot dealers for a price and not one EVER gave me one! They made excuse after excuse but NONE gave me a price! I dont get it! Vanderhalls are there on the showroom floor for the buying, but they wont give me a price or take my cash! Slingshot dealers (ALL of them) dont have any in stock and the wait is 2 to 6 months! But still no Price from any of them! Slingshot guys even wanted me to give them a non refundable deposit on one if it ever came in and then they would give me a price after! AHHH NOOOO!!! Very frustrating on all 3 brands!!!

Try harder:

I considered a Slingshot before the Spyder but the side-by-side was too wide for my taste although there was much to like about the machine mechanically and styling.
Vanderhall not so much.
