Hi from Spain:
I've just bought my Magnum 325 and I think brake system is not working well. Rear foot brake is very light and all tires brake is slow responding. Even park brake doesn´t run very well 'cause if I push my quad myself, it moves. I checked brake liquid level and it seems right. I called in my dealer and they told me to wait until first technical review, and then they will check the system. Some idea about it??
Thanks
Spanish Quadman

Dont wait another moment to bring the quad back in for repair of them brakes.You should NEVER be able to push that quad by yourself with the brakes on.When it comes to your saftey,your dealer should of told you to bring it in immediately for a complete brake inspection. I'd get it back to the Dealer now.BILL

Sounds as if the brakes need to be bled to get the air out of the system. A "spongy" feel is a pretty good giveaway that there is air in the lines. Perhaps the dealer or factory did not purge the system of air when it was assembled . As Bill said take no chances with brakes have it checked as soon as possible ,any competant mechanic can bleed brakes its not that difficult.
