• 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 PARKING BRAKE HELP

I have searched this forum high and low and can't find the answer to the problem I've got.
so here it go. First of all I have a 2012 RSS- SE5 and I was attempting to adjust the parking brake.
After watching the video and mid way thru the adjustment the black thing (Sorry don't know what it's called)
popped off along with the spring. I put it back together and now I have no parking brake what at all.

PLEASE HELP WITH SOME ADVICE...

I'm not a wrench head but I do know righty tighty lefty loosey ;);)
 
Check the cable in the front the cable might has fallen off the front pulley if the cable does not pull the cable fell off
 
Try this..!!

go to "you tube" search "can am spyder park brake adjustment" they have 4 videos on how to...sorry can't get the paste to work on my tablet...:thumbup:
 
Try this

If you took the nut off the arm that the brake cable pulls, and the arm fell off the splined shaft, no problem. Ignore the cable for now. Put the arm on, and twist. If you feel it applying the brake, you are in the ballpark. If you feel nothing, remove the arm, rotate it, and slip it back on. Feel it apply the brake while twisting. Sometimes, it is a matter of one spline at a time until you feel it is in the friction zone. Once that is good, put the cable on, and adjust the cable and locknuts until it works again. No panic, nothing you can't fix. Use wheel chocks until it is fixed so it does not roll away!
call if you need help. Joe
