Default emergency brake on 800 sportsman

Ive noticed that the pedal brake(emergency brake) is soft and wont lock the brake on neither of my 800"s.
I know it"s only to be used for emergency but we were sitting on a little incline today and I put the atv in neutral and it will stop it in a little bit of a incline but anything
else its like you dont have the pedal mashed? any suggestions

I had same problem on all 3 quads. Dealer bled the brakes, now they lock up the tires. I hear this problem a lot here, 90% of the time bleeding fixes it. The other 10 never seem to figure it out... lol.
