2016 triglide here. I drove for a short distance with my parking brake on. Now it won't work like before click to set. It won't even work push down won't lock in place. Is there a way to adjust it. I hope so.

Yes there is a way to adjust it....look in your manual....who expects a motorcycle to have a parking brake? LOL I've forgot to release mine before. I try not to use it now.

I rarely use mine, just leave it in gear when parking. But it is easy to forget that's for sure.

Forgot I had set mine yesterday until I tried to back up. Thankfully noticed before the breaker popped. I've forgotten several times. I only use it when parked on a slope.

I rarely use mine so when I do I seem to always forget it for a few miles ! Even the red lamp on the gauges doesn't seem to remind me. Mine still works without adjustment so I guess I have been lucky. Let us know how it turns out.

Been there did it.

Plus I looked for the jiffy stand once and stood up at a stop sign. With 19K on it now I'm getting better with it.
