I own a 2012 Spyder RT-S. I have approximatley 8,000 miles on the odometer. Yesterday when I was ready to park my Spyder I got this warning on the display, "Parking Brake Failure". When I tried to put the parking brake on, it wouldn't respond and, of course, when I tried to take the key out of the ignition I got that loud audible warning. Finally I got this audible warning to stay off. I then rode the Spyder home and parked it. I got under the bike to see what was happening and noticed the brake cable was VERY loose going around that little wheel on the rear tire. I decided to take the right panel off and noticed the other end of the brake cable was off the front wheel which turns electronically, tightening the brake wheel on the rear tire. I also heard an audible "hum". When I put everything back together and had the brake working again. I try to start the Spyder but the battery was dead and that "Parking Brake Failure" was still on the display..... Any thoughts on just what is happening especially with that "humming" that is draining my battery...??? :banghead:

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.

The parking brake beep will go away in a minute and the hum you hear last 40 minutes but now way would it drain your battery unless it was less then fully charged.
