So I pulled the tire off the front left and cleaned all the mud off the caliper and rotor, put the wheel back on and tried it out. The right front wheel will lock up as it is supposed to while the left front just grinds and vibrates. Callled my dealer and they said they may can fix it under warranty. If not anyone have an idea of what might be wrong?

That is a complete new machine.....Should have bought extended warranty.
Why I bought the 08 800 a few days ago.
Shoulds like the calpiers are freezing up causing all that wear on the front breaks.
My sales lit says they are using new dual a-arm front suspension.
I would call polaris and see if they can't make it right.
I had a 97 500ho and a 2003 700ho and never had a break problem or any problem as that goes.
Seems like it takes them 2 years to get the kinks outa new machines.

That's what I was afraid of and why I asked about pad wear..but I thought uyou might have had a sticking caliper on one side.
Dave actually my pads are pretty tight on the disk...not sure why they wore so quick. I have about 200 miles on mine and only have about .030 cumlative pad wear(ie inner and outer) so about .015 per pad...and I've been failry hard on the brakes.
They aren't real thick to start with..maybe .200? For info the wear limit thickness is .040..
