hey, i cannot get my rear brake to work, it just sqeaks when i try to use it, i checked the fluid, bled the sytsem and tryed to adjust it, wtf. It is like really easy to push, no pressure at all, only pressure its got in the return spring on it. thanks guys
 
u got air pockets in the line still thats what i think check all connections for leaks
 
its brand new, its not the pad, the brake has no pressure.... btw my parking brake still works
 
After that I don't know where to go other than the master cylinder needs replaced/rebuilt.
 
yea, its still under warrenty, still got like 3-1/2 months left on it
 
if u got that left go to the dealer it probleys needs rebuilt cause the seal might of got torn it happens some times
 
I would of taken it right off, but I'm too lazy/busy to do something that I ain't got to!

As for the parking brake, give it time...lol. Take it from somebody that would have really liked to keep it on. When you have to adjust it all the time and don't know exactly when it will quit holding, it becomes too big of a liability. I'd rather not have it and therefore never rely on it. I tried keeping it for a while and not relying on it but you can't help but think "I wouldn't leave it like this (on a hill) but the parking brake should hold it enough" LOL Once I got off to help someone on a hill and as I returned to it I was thinking 'don't move, don't move, don't move'... it didn't seem like as bad of a hill when I left it as it looked as I was going back to it. Later that day it wouldn't hold anything! I decided then to take it off.
 
Caliper piston seals, take it to the dealer and have them fix it if its under warrenty. I had the same problem on my warrior.
 
lol, i never use it, i leave it in gear

If you do that for transportation (in a trailer) Don't use the transmission for the main way of holding it in place since you could mess up your one way in your starter.
I don't have my e-brake on either, so when I put it in a trailer i just throw a bungee cord around the front brake and that holds it fine, I don't want to have to rip my starter apart prematurely.

leave it in gear if i like park on a hill, will that mess up the one way?

I think he means so that when the atv is moving back and forth it will wind out the gears thus screwing it up... but if u have it in gearwithout like moving back and forth jamming against the gears it should be fine...

yep.

Definitely don't transport them gear though, I had a starter clutch go out on my 2001 within a year of owning it because nobody ever told me that I shouldn't transport it that way.
 
alright. thanks guys, i acually understood what you typed atv lol, just messin with you.
