• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Another brake failure question.

    I don't see a code. Just brake failure. The dealer must have read the code.

    Another brake failure question.

    Bike was at the dealers for a repair. They told me I had a brake caliper sticking on one of the front wheels. I thought that strange as they seem to work fine and no code. Well when I got it back there was a code. What is strange is anytime the code shows and I increase the throttle just a bit...

    2012 RS brake problem.

    Sorry I posted twice. New to the site and couldn't find the original post. Just a follow up on this. The bike was in the shop for repair from being rear ended. I had ask them to adjust the parking brake and the long stroke on the regular brake. Parking brake now works as it should. The long...

    2012 RS brake problem

    Well guys I got the bike back today. They fixed the problems being rear ended caused. Everything in the back new. $1600. I had ask them to adjust the parking brake and the long stroke on the regular brake pedal. Well guess what? The parking brake works perfect. The long stroke on the regular...

    Were you using vacuum or just free drain?

    2012 RS brake problem

    David, could you explain in a bit more detail what you did. Was the second person just to shut it off while the other made sure the master cyl stayed full? Thanks Doug

    2012 RS brake problem

    I see your point Mike. This is going to be put on hold until Dec. I am in Florida now but leaving around the 1st of next month. And the bike is in the shop for another matter. A plumbing truck rear ended me. The company is footing the bill for repairs which should be done middle of next week...

    2012 RS brake problem

    I don't mind buying a new caliper, its the other $900 I am objecting to. As the only air would be in the new caliper, why wouldn't just bleeding it at that point be possible? I have not thrown a code. The only thing wrong is a long stroke at the pedal. Thinking about that, wouldn't a hanging...

    2012 RS brake problem

    I suppose this is just to easy but can you use a vacuum pump to bleed them? I changed brakes on a vehicle once and just could't bleed them. Used a marine oil vacuum tank and it pulled the fluid through the system.

    2012 RS brake problem

    The left front brake caliper is hanging up. Dealer wants $1,072.00 to replace. Part available on the internet for less than $200. Dealer says it is 3 hours just to bleed the brakes. This sounds crazy to me. Is this right? I have changed brakes on a car. Is this that much different. Is it...

    2012 RS brake problem.

    Left front caliper hanging up. Dealer says $1072.00 to change. That sounds insane. Hea said 3 hours to bleed alone. Is that reasonable? I have changed a few on cars. Is this something I could do? Part seems to be less than $200. Doug
