• 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.

Need advice/help with 08 GS SM5 caliper retraction - resolved!

EDIT: I figured it out. The parking brake arm had to come off. :-)

I'm doing the brakes and noticed my caliper will not retract. I've read two different procedures on how to make it retract. Does the 2008 GS require a C clamp? Or does it need to be screwed back in? Also, does the parking brake lever need to be pressed during any of this? I am totally new to Can Ams. It feels like the parking brake is keeping it from retracting. The cable is totally off.
