• 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

Turned the on and got PARKING BRAKE on the screen. Turned the key off then back on again and all was good. Trouble coming?
 
HUH? :dontknow::dontknow:

While ignition is on you switch the parking brake on, see the red indicator in the speedo then turn the key off. When you turn it on the P brake should still be on.
 
PARKING BREAK

That's understood, I set it whenever I park the bike.

The problem is the words PARKING BREAK showed up on the screen. I haven't seen that before.
 
Curious..!!

does it only say parking brake or is it followed by failure..could it be a warning the brake is on that comes on if you put it in gear and try to move..?..:dontknow: Check fluid levels anyway just in case...:thumbup:
 
2012 rt parking beak problem. Parking break is locked in on position. Checked fuses and brake fluid. Any other suggestion?

You probably checked everything you can check. Now just remove the cable down at the brake caliper. This will release the parking and you should be able to drive it to the dealer. Unless BUDS puts you in LIMP mode.:dontknow:
 
Similar issue this morning, pulled out of the garage, put on brake turned engine off to run back into house for a few. After restarting Spyder parking brake would not release with amber brake light flashing. Turned engine off (always count to ten) turned ignition back on warning still present (Code C004B not in Spyder Codes) STARTED ENGINE, PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED BRAKE RELEASE SWITCH AND EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL. Went on Poker Run his morning without any additional issues.
 
My parking brake also stuck yesterday. I pressed the button to release. The light went out, but the brake stuck and it kept beeping at me when I would try to pull forward. It finally released. I was able to go. When I stopped to park, I got an orange screen that showed "Parking Brake Fault". I pulled the key and was off of the bike for 15-20 minutes. When I returned, all was well.

Which spyder had the problem. I also have a 2013 st l.
 
Once again I had the same issue as back in August. Stopped by my Honda Dealer and we hooked it up to BUDS said error code is a brake sensing switch or low brake fluid. Brake fluid OK so we will go back to Honda House in the near future for a Troubleshoot session. Code C004B is what I have but it is not in the Spydercodes.
 
My Problem solved

Bottom line, check brake fluid level when bike is cold, added 36 ml this morning to rear chamber. After that could not reproduce error.
