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.
2017 Spyder RT Parking Brake sticking

Here's what I posted on another thread yesterday: My 2018 RT LTD did this at about 6500 miles, just as we were leaving on a an 800 mile trip. I disconnected the cable with the above mentioned 12mm wrenches, threw some small blocks of wood in the frunk for chocks, and proceeded with the trip. About half way through the trip, it started working again, so I re-connected the cable. It worked fine for the remainder of the trip, but occurred a couple more times after we got home. I took it to the dealer, and they replaced the cable and servo motor under the factory warranty.My parking brake switch will not turn off the brake and when I push the toggle switch, the warning light goes from blinking to solid. When I shut off the key, the warning signal goes off for about 15 times and then stops. How do I disengage the brake so I can load the bike?

Mine did that a few times at 600 miles it left me stuck. As other have said 12 mm wrenches and pull the bake cable and be sure to chock. My solution was they had
to replace a faulty switch.
to replace a faulty switch.

On my 2018 RTL they initially replaced the left handlebar switch pack (it's all one big conglomerate of switches) and it made it a shade over 2 months and 1258 miles until the gremlin reappeared. It has now been diagnosed as the parking brake motor. As of today, waiting on parts has been about a week. This is the strongest argument for not leaving your bike at the dealership if it's rideable as the waiting on parts plus getting the tech scheduled can take 2 weeks to a month.
