Umm...Does anyone know how to use the Z400 parking brake? I press the button, hold the clutch, then push the little thing down and it stays there, but the wheels still turn..Am i missing something?

 

Well either the cable is siezed like 90% of the quads with them on or it needs to be adjusted.

the parking brake on my z worked fine the first 2 times used now it will roll away with it on. no big deal though i plan on getting the block off plate for it anyway. if you are using it for transport i suggest using tie wraps on your front brake this way there is no pressure on your gears. just cut'em when you get to your destination.

I got a better one than zip ties. I use what is called a "cable clamp". You can find them @ Wal-Mart with the extension cords. They are used when you coil up an extension cord, you put this clamp around it like half of a set of handcuffs. And they are easily installed and reuseable.

 

Im just saying a brake for when we stop at the top of a hill to take a break or whatever, and my Z doesnt go rolling off a cliff. For transport i just use the clamps. I read the manual and it said something about adjusting the back brake i think. I didnt quite understand what they meant.

 

Are you pushing down the button 'before' you pull the clutch lever in?

 

Mine worked perfectly the first couple of times i used it, but now it hardly even stops the tires from rolling, im not sure how to fix it, but i dont really even use it all that much anyways.

 

Mine is doing the samething.
The other day it worked fine.
Today the wheels just keep rolling.

 

Here's how to use the parking brake. DON'T

I used mine a couple of times before it stopped working, now I'm working on finding the block off plate.

 

I dont use it much, but when i do use it it doesn't work when i need it. Just today, my friend fell off his dirt bike and i had to go get it off of him, on an decline. So i had to turn it sideways into a couple trees to stop it. But i guess if it doesn't work then theres nothing i can do about it. Thanks for the feedback guys.
