the other day i was riding my dad's 500 sportsman when i decided to break a trail by powerbraking and spinning the tires. wen i went to do this the engine blew
out white steam so i rolled back down the hill to see what i did. i didnt see anything wrong so i went to move the quad to flatter ground,the quad started bouncing like it
had a really bad bent a-arm. what did i do to my dads quad. any reply would help, thanks

 

Honestly. I have no Idea.

what i would do. Hide the bike, hide the keys blame it on my brother or sister

if you can't do any of the above hate to break it too you.
your dad will make you pay big time...

happened from experience

 

I think you bernt the belt in it. they aren't made to do the burnouts it there is to much grip you will burn the belt an flat spot it need new belt

 

by powerbraking and spinning the tires...does this mean u were holding the brake and giving it gas? cus if so, prbly fried a belt, cus when u apply the brakes, its to all 4 tires

 

Dude, you're in trouble![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

And people wonder why they break,lol.

 

I've done the same exact thing last year on my old sportsman and it turned out to be a fried belt, ya cant break torque a polaris thats belt driven.

 

woud the belt being screwed up cause the shaking its doing to

 

You can not powerbrake a sportsman, because it is impossible to apply only the front brakes. You had the brakes on to all four wheels and burnt the belt.
