Default Possible Predator Problem? - Need help!

I think this problem has already been brought up before, but can't remember it. I had my Predator up on a lift today checking the hoses and bolts (making sure everything is tight). When I tried to spin the front tires, they would only go around one time and then stop. Almost seemed like the brake was too tight??? Has anyone else had this problem or know what is causing this or is this just normal? I posted some new pictures on my photo page also. Thanks.

Once you get a little time on the machine, they seem to loosen up a bit......twas built to some exacting tolerances.

yea i had the same problem with mine...my problems was i had a huge snowbuild up in the rim...do you keep your 4 wheeler cleaned off or is there always snow in the rims??? i rode mine all day one day and towards then end of the day i noticed the hesitation in my front tires...they'd turn almost 360 degrees but then stop going forwards or back..so i pulled it into my buddys garage and melted all the snow off of my front rims and it worked perfect. that's the only problem i've had so far...i am going to pick up my pipe today i can't wait!!

Badazzpred-
My predator has less than an hour on it. Just picked it up last week. It seems to run very well in the cold temperatures, but haven't had enough time to really test it outdoors. I put a rear grab bar and front grab bar on it, nerf bars, WB slip-on silencer. I haven't rejeted it yet. It seems like it has tons of power. I'm very pleased with it so far. I appreciate the comment on my pictures. I may put another one on my site later (of my new predator cover) -- sweet!
