Default BRAKES or lack there of!

I have no foot brake...Its just realllly floppy...this isnt a personal problem...just would like a back up brake. Is it fluid, a crappy or broken line? or part of the piston.

This is what's known as " Polaris rear brakes". They just plain suck.Do a quick search on here on scrambler brakes and you will find info. on how to properly bleed the rears.You can bleed them to where they will lock up hard but it doesn't last for more then a couple weeks.I don't no where the fault lies.My guess would be the piston/valve.

i talked to my dealer about it... it's the o-ring in the caliper...it's not strong enogh and the two line mixes together... when you hit the foot brake the oil is going into the other line instead of applying pressur on the plates.

that's what i understood anyways :-)
