Brake Failure

[crw8781]

All,
Came home from work riding my 2010 RT-S SM5 and got an Emergency Brake Failure warning. The emergency brake would not engage before turning off the engine. The brake light would flash 3 times and stop. When the key was removed the Spyder would beep for several seconds. I guess I need to put the brake cable back on the pully myself, can't get the dealer to look at it till next Wednesday. Any suggustions:gaah:

If all it is was the cable coming off the front pulley, it is an easy fix. Pull the right side panels and put it back on. Check to see that the vinyl cable cover is not hagning up on the sheath, and lubricate both ends of the cable, preferably with a silicone or dry lube. I'd still report it to your dealer. There is a service bulletin for this issue that covers some Spyder RTs.

I have the same bike. last weekend pulled into gas station and set the brake and there was a loud beeping...wife and I looking at the car beside us thinking it was them. turned key back on and stopped beeping.... brake failure. Pulled off out of the way and got my BRP tool kit out and put cable back on. Cleaned and lubed when I got back home. Very ease to do. Never knew I had a beeper.

Chances are you need to adjust the cable too, not just put it back on.

I have the cable back on, Where can I find the information for adjusting the brake cable.
