Is it normal for the rear handbreak to become totally useless on the lakotas. Ive only rode mine twice and it dosnt hardly work.

 

mine sucks to i guess it normal

 

check the **** on the rear brake caliper.There is a round indented ****,turn it alittle bit clockwise and recheck the lever,repeat if nessary.This is explained in the manual.

 

I thought that **** was just for the hand break.

 

I have had my Lakota since December. I ahve ridden it at least 20 times and have no problems with the brakes. I do here a "whirling" or "vibrating " sound though. I think its the chain and sproket, but it's in good shape. The rear skid plate they give you sucks. I am going to order a good one from my dealer. Other than that, no problems with the bike.

 

I do not have a problem. How rough are you on the brakes? do you slam them too much? My son used to ride my Bayou and every time he came back the brakes were shot and needed to be adjusted. That did not last long.

 

yeah the **** works mine didn't work at all know it works good thanks for the help i held the brake in and my friend adjusted the ****

 

After about 5 rides my brothers Lakota's brake did the same thing but he adjusted it and now it works great again! :^)

 

Thank you all for the help I guess Ill have to try to adjust it tommorrow

 

i adjusted mine and it works graet
