Parking Brake

[jcaburto]

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you accidentally press the parking brake button while ryding?

I don't believe it will work if you are going more than a couple of miles per hour. But, if you try it, let us know how that works out..... Jim

nothing, and in your owners manual it spells it out

As 4 MARIE says, the parking brake switch is automatically deactivated above 6 mph.

I found out that nothing happens if you're moving at speed when I kept pushing a button to turn on the heated grips. Wrong button! :dontknow:

Reminds me of that country boy joke when he first drove an automatic car. He was sitting at a light in "N" he figured was nothing and a Friend pulled up next to him and reved his engine so the old boy figured he wanted to drag so he dropped into "D" as they sped down the road and the friend was getting away he figured he wanted to race so he dropped into "R".....:roflblack: But the above is correct....

The consensus (including the manual) says "nothing." I have never been brave enough to give it a try though. :bowdown:

I knew from my original readings of the operator's guide that it cut out above 6 mph but when the question was raised several years ago I tested it blowing down some road at 45-50 -- zero, zip, nada!
