• 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.

Brake Failure

So today the girlfriend and I decided to take a nice ride weather was overcast but not to hot and not cold so figured it would be a good day to ride. Well about 75 miles into the ride a message scrolls across saying "Brake Failure". Well brakes were working fine so i checked the brake fluid it was fine so I had the Girlfriend check the brake lights for me and sure enough one of them was out.

It never put me in Limp Home but continued to scroll across untill i got the spyder home. Guess ill be removing the tail lights tomorrow and calling NMN first thing Tuesday morning to convert them!!!

Evan i think you are responsible for this since I wanted to get your new tail light mod but didn't want to be without my spyder. Now i have a reason to be without while getting yet another great mod!!!! LOL :D i'll be calling Tuesday morning!!!!
 
I would check the brake fluid one more time. I had a similar issue and even though the brake fluid level was what I would consider to be full (just a touch below the full line), the brake failure message went away after I topped off the brake fluid. Also, dltang has one of her running / brake lights burned out now and she isn't getting a brake failure message.

I just yesterday morning on my way home from work got the same message on the panel.
Got home right rear brake light was out, checked the fluid it was good.
Went auto zone with the burnt bulb picked up a new one (Sylvania 7528, was the cross reference #) put it in & no more code.

SPYMAN
 
My right rear was out for a while and never through a code. I'm not sure why some Spyders do and some don't but going with LED's on the rear is a plus even if you don't throw a code. :doorag:
