Default 02 Scram 500 rear breaks?

Why dont they work? We bleed em, work for half a day..then they stop working. Take it to the dealer, they claim to fix em, works for half a day...stops working. We can jack the rear end up of the ground, spin the rear wheels, pull the 4-wheel break lever, nothing..push the foot lever, nothing...do rear scrambler breaks just not work?

My Scrambler rears work fine, always have.
My TrailBoss rears do nothing, never have?

Is there a trick, does any one know? I got both of my bikes used, maybe the trick was done to the Scrambler before I got it.

must just be a polaris thing!

yeah im doing alright. The nerve pain sucks..my hand ALWAYS hurts! i still have no feeling in most my hand, all my for-arm, and my bicep area...they figure 6-8 weeks before i start to get anything back. Future surgurys will be needed..i go right now twice a week for physio..thats going alright. Im healing, but they figure it should be a good year before i get back full use of my hand/arm.

Check out my pics on here..i just added a few of my arm and hand...might take a while to approve them.

Possibly air getting into the system? What did they "supposedly" fix? Did they check the master cylinder for the rear brake?

my tb rear breaks are the same. i think polaris rear breaks got problems. im considering just removing mine but i really want them. even wen i bled mine they still didnt work. i think its something in the foot lever pump because it seems like it doesnt create enough compression to make them lock up
