Angry 06 sportsman 800 twin issues

Awd not working and no speedo not working ...

Front brakes draggin bad ....

Looked at lines and they look good filled with fluid and it is good ... Is their a proportioning valve ? Or could it do it with low brake pads?

Sounds like one for OPT. The brakes may just need new pads, if you are lucky.

Front brakes dragging can be from a stuck caliper piston,worn pads or both.Look at the front pads thickness,replace if worn,remove the caliper bracket and grease the legs,make sure the piston can move inward.Also check the rear caliper for the same thing.Piston seals are available if needed. 2006 Polaris SPORTSMAN 800 EFI (A06MH76AL) Brake, Front /Aq/At/Ax/Ay/Az | Cycle Parts Warehouse A mity vac is best on bleeding the system from any trapped air. Loosing awd was a common thing especially if the speedo goes out. Jump the brown/white to the brown wire in the speedo connector and hopefully this will restore awd.This bypasses the awd ground circuit that goes through the speedo and can loose ground when speedos fail.
