• 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.

    '08 GS with locked up brakes from sitting - what's the best way to release?

    Thanks, will have another look in the manual. The thing is, I didn't put the park brake on when I parked it, just left it in gear. I never do that at home, but it's worth trying just in case.

    '08 GS with locked up brakes from sitting - what's the best way to release?

    Thanks Peter, tried through both manuals but nothing relevant that I could find. I have disconnected the park brake but the wheel is locked solid. When you say 'wind the piston back using the lever', what do you mean? Keep trying to move the lever back and forth???
