parking brake during ryding ??

[chris56]

has anyone tested if the parking brake switch is not working during my ryde - its direct on the side of the switch for the heated grips ...
or should the system protect ..

I have a Spyder RT-S SE5 2010 Model

Not sure if you mean trying to apply the Parking Brake whilst riding

In the operators manual it states the following :-

Applying Parking Brake
With the vehicle stopped, press switch
to apply the parking brake. The brake
indicator lamp will flash.

NOTE: The parking brake cannot be
activated when the vehicle is above
10 km/h (6MPH).

I think this is the same for all Later model RT's - Someone will confirm this

Hope this helps

You are correct. Last winter I hit the heated grips and I guess I also hit the parking brake switch. After at least 30 min. of riding I came to a stop light and it engaged just be for a complete stop... I about went over the handle bars:banghead:

This never occurred to me, so I'm really glad to have read it. I've only used my heated grips once, but I can see the possibility of accidentally turning the parking brake on during a ride instead of the grips.

Thanks.

I wouldn't even want to hit it at only 5.5mph... :shocked:
That would be quite a shock to the whole system! :yikes:

Be careful about which button you hit. :thumbup:
