artic cat brake fade
i have a 500 auto & i get an intermittent brake fade with the hand bar brake. it will work awesome for a while then all of a sudden you pull on handle & it will go back to the bar. the dealer has checked it several times & seem to come up with nothing. my rear brakes also dont work very well at all, they have been adjusted many different times also. they have also installed a new master cylinder.
i'm wondering if any else has ran into or heard of this problem. other than that i love this bike.
i have no problem keeping up with the full 4x4 polaris's, 500's & 700's.

never had that problem, kinda sounds like that their is air in your system or you pads are gone and possibly you have a rotor that is groved, Check your pads and rotors and replace them if needed. Then I would drain the system ang pu in new fluid, bleed the breaks, if that does not fix it you might have a small pinhole is one of the lines or some other leak, wish I could be more help.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

The rear foot brake just plain sucks. I had a warped rear rotor that made the first pull one the lever go the the bar, second pull brought me to a stop. To determine witch rotor is warped lift your machine up get the brake lever firm, turn the rear tires, pull the brake, if it requires a second pull, look at the rear rotor it should be the warped one, repeat on each individual front tire.

I have the same problem on my 03 400i. I called my dealer today about it. He said at first that maybe I had a loose fitting. When I said that I haven't lost any fluid, he hinted that artic cat has seen alot of problems with "fading, spongy" feeling brakes. Iam calling corporate artic cat tomorrow.
