Is it loose or does it feel like it has air in the lines? If it is just real easy to pull back and then gets stiff then it may be air in the line... It makes the brakes feel "spongy"

Is this a new quad? If so and you haven't worked on the brakes, I would take it back and let the dealer fix them. If you have air in the lines you will have to "bleed" the brakes and if you have not done this before I would let the dealer do it.
