Parking Brake Q
Hey all,
Noobie question, and I have a lot of them... When my quad is parked in the garage I have been leaving the parking brake on. Does this cause any additional wear to the breaking system? I could just find a chock, the floor is close to level (as a garage floor is) so it is not a big deal. Do you keep the rear brake pulled and clipped?
Thanks and glad to have a place to ask my noobie questions!

I leave mine in neutral in the garage so I can easily push it around and move it. All my parking brakes are cable actuated....so I dont see a wear issue. None the less I see no reason to use them on flat ground. Even on the trail I just turn the quad off and leave it in 1st gear.....never had one roll away.
Parking brake only gets used when trailering......JUST in case.

One thing I've noticed at least with PoPos is that the single lever system that brakes both front and rear makes a fantastic parking brake. I've never been able to get a PoPo to move with a parking brake on. All the two lever brake systems I've been on could be pushed with the rear only parking brakes.
