550 XP engine breaking seems week???
Went riding this weekend and my dad said his engine breaking is hardly working 2WD only, going down a 6% to 8% grade sometimes the quad will speed up rather than slow down. My 08 500 HO will come to a stop much faster some time the rear tires will slide 2WD only. His 550 only has 450 miles on it, just would like some input on this problem, seems like the motor is not slowing the quad down, the belt seems tight when taking off. Thanks
