is it true that on sport bikes with hydrolic brakes and a manual parking brake that it will never work? and does anyone have the new foremans with traxlock? how good do they work? do u notice any difference in and out of 4 wheel drive? is the turnin radious still the same? thanx

you know why yours works fine gutairjunke , because you dont have hydrolic discs ! and yes the parking brake on sport fourwheelers with HYDROLIC do suck they were down your pads and need adjustment almost every hour of riding . So i got a parking brake block off and took off my parking brake .

Why get a block off. I agree, mine doesn't work either so I don't use it. I guess I am to cheap since I see no obvious benifit in removing it and blocking it off.

It's mainly a weight savings thing for people who race.
