yep, mine broke on my 400ex the week after I got it. Ironically though, the one on my 84 200x still works pretty well

Its a adjustment. Mine went out within 2 weeks. Took it to the shop and they fiadjusted it. They said you have to adjust this brake often. They showed me how. Easy and fast. That was almost 4 moths ago and I haven't adjusted it yet!

All sport quads parking brakes suck. Mine quit working on both my 450r and 300ex shortly after i got them, and my banshee's wont work, but thats not surprising since its 7 years old. I need a block off.

A DS650 parking brake works great. It just uses a locking type deal on the front brake lever..sometimes the old saying "KISS" works the best--"Keep It Simple Stupid"

It's simple to adjust but why would you want to? just take the darn thing off and ride till the cows come home.
