left the p brake on... what did i mess up?
#1
I accidentally left the park brake on one of my 04 trail boss for roughly 2 days. Now the right side front brake wont lock like the left side.
On hi traction surfaces it throws the bike sideways. My other one will lock both fronts.
I bled the right side but didnt notice any improvement.
Any idea what I messed up? I didnt really notice and fluid leak at the calipers...

It sounds like you have a frozen caliper, it should still be under warranty right? If not try bleeding, I always leave my parking brake on when I'm not riding and it's not on a flat surface. Always have on all my atv's and atc's, never knew you weren't supposed to or had a problem with doing that either.

I have left mine on a couple of times. Get off to take a break, get back on start to ride, notice it feels different. Oh yeah, left the brake on. They laugh every time I do it. The way Polaris designed the brake, it will bleed down by itself. I used to leave it on while transporting, but when I got to where I was going, it had bled down and wasn't holding anymore.
