Default Raptor Parking Brake

Okay, picture this....05 Raptor.....First time out with it...Not even made first payment...stopped to help someone else...(the wife), Christine(thats my raptors name) got jealous of the wife and tried to go down the hill, into Keystone lake...luckily a tree stopped her...My wife, who could care less about my relationship with Christine is more worried about the fact that this was before the first payment was made and a baby tree saved us from loosing more money....Can't get rid of the Parking Brake or the Wife....so.....

put the break on then just turn the wheels althe way to one side. Are you sure somethings just not dripping on the rotor?? I oiled my front bearings, and accidently sprayed the rotors, and i didnt have any front brakes for like 20min till it burt off.

Don't ask me how but every quad (except our blasters) have no Parking brake. Just put it in gear and you'll be fine (unless you have low comp) . And but a PB block off from cascade [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Or do what i do if i need a brake on. Keep a piece or rope with you and wrap the level and the handlebars together. It works and i have a pb now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Why would you want to block it off? What if you needed to use it oneday? Blocking it off doesnt help you at all, just costs you $$
