Default Grizzly 700 brake problem??

I have a 2007 grizzly 700 and when I first got it the front brakes would lock up like abs. When I grab them normal they lock up . The front brakes would never lock up when I pull the lever slow it does not slow the quad down easy. Right now I have 2000 miles on it and all I use are the back brakes. Is this normal for grizzly 700s?

Check front pads for dirt and wear. Caliper piston may be seized as well.

This is deff not normal and a problem and one I have never herd of on a Grizz. My guess is you have a front master cylinder malfunctioning. You can check with the guys at http://www.grizzlycentral.com/ if you want a second opinion. Good luck let us know what you find.
