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.

I had that issue and the fix was replace 08 brake reservoir caps - 08 brake caps had a leaking problem causing low fluid - which gives you that brake failure code - can am even has a safety recall on those bad caps.... I think the bulletin is posted somewhere on this site---

Right and wrong brake reservoir cap installation
On my 08 I found out that the fluid leak was caused by the vent opening in the cap facing the front of the Spyder. Reservoir tilts forward and since you must keep the fluid level right up to the neck it splashes out during quick stops. The cure for me was to reinstall the caps with the vent opening facing back (uphill). No further problems with it for the remainder of my ownership. Traded it in on a 2011 RT-s.
