I noticed that my P-brake is not gripping anymore. Considering the quad is an 04', I'm assuming I need to adjust the free play. Any tips on this task, or are the instructions in the owners manual pretty adequate?

 

Don't waste your time. It's a very poor design which requires adjustment once per tank of fuel. Instead of fixing this poor design, Yamaha added a ignition cutout so you don't accidently drive around all day with your parking brake on. I recommend disconnecting this switch, and learn to leave it in 1st to keep it from rolling forward, and reverse to keep it from rolling backwards. Otherwise an awesome machine...congrats.

 

Interesting . . .If I don't use the p-brake then what is the purpose of disconecting it? Just to make sure you aren't driving with weak azz brake on? I think I get you.

 

I agree the parking brake is a piece of crap. Back the bolt on the rear brake caliper all the way out so there is no drag on the brake disk. What I did was get a short strap that hooks with velcro ( watch band ). When stopped tighten it around your front brake lever and grip, locking your front tires.

 

umm so tell me something on the warrior clutch lever perch there is 3 things that connect there, the clutch cable the parking brake cable and is the other one this Parking brake shut off you are talking about???
