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 light generally means low fluid, even if it is a teaspoon low it could trigger the warning sensor. Be sure to fill it with "DOT 4" fluid and make sure the arrow on the brake fluid reservoir caps are pointing up (towards the rear of the bike) after you fill them. As you ride your spyder and the brakes wear down a little bit it takes more fluid to activate them.

I found that by using an eyedropper to add fluid; I'm better able to NOT make a mess out of everything... nojoke

They got you covered. Most of the time, it is low fluid. A small amount fixes the orange screen.

:agree: The system is pretty fussy; six drops low, and the light seems to come on... :banghead:

Getting the same orange screen on my 2014 RT LTD. Would only pop up after going for a ride, turn it off, start it up again after 5 or so minutes. Never while riding & using the brakes. Took it in & dealer did two updates on it & thought they would stop the orange screen. They did not, as upon riding 35 miles, not getting it while using brakes, I got home shut it down, waited 5 minutes, started it up & there is was again displayed. Did not get any error codes. Even on BUDS when the dealer hooked her up & checked for them. Dealer recommended adding brake fluid if necessary and see if I get it again. DOT 4 only, let him know the results.. Will try that in the next couple of days if I get a minute. Brake fluid does not look low to me but will add a little to see if it fixes the problem.

As I said previously; pick yourself up an eyedropper... you can be very precise, and mess-free! :thumbup:
Good luck!
