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.
Parking brake.........sticking
- Thread starter tfjunkie
- Start date
I was having the same problem then today I was on my slanted driveway and I went to release the parking break and made sure my foot was on the foot brake. The parking break disengaged without any sticking what so ever. I rode all day and continued to use this method and haven't had any problems with it not wanting to release. ;D So it seems that it might be a safety feature on the spyder.

I just got my Spyder and have used the parking break once prior to today. Today the parking break stuck down and I couldn't get it to release. When after about 20 minutes it finally released but the parking break light is still flashing and when you press down on the parking break it no longer clicks. It goes down and comes right back up but the parking break is not engaged on it. Anyone have any ideas? I am about 12 hours from the closest dealer and would like to try to fix it myself. Thanks

Yeah I did that I tried everything I could think of like pressing down the break, holding in the clutch, engine running, engine not running. Now I am afraid something is broke and I have nowhere to take it.
I have heard of others having problems with the parking brake, mine is starting to get "sticky" also. I would call your closest service department and ask them for help. I would also order (and I have...not in yet) the service manuel, 'cause it looks like you will be doing a lot of the work yourself! For a quick fix, maybe someone with a service manuel can FAX or scan/email just the pages with the e-brake info on it?
