Parking brake left on?

[adubs916]

And some people think Yamaha's parking brake design is stupid, but how do you leave a parking brake on one of these, I thought Ski-Doo was perfect.

Or, maybe that was just a convenient excuse.

Well I guess the parking brake does not work that well or it was connected to c4 in the gas tank.

Does make for a long walk home

WOW ! you would think a person would notice if the brake is on thru that slow looking trail ???

Yamaha are nice,i cant grab a hold of my grip with it flipped over with gloves !

My guess is newbies riding rentals, how else could you explain two at the same time/place? Many, many snowmobiles and ATVs have a similar park brake design, it boils down to operator error.

I know a buddy that I ride with left his Parking Break on with his APEX.

Went about a mile and a half until he smelled something burning.

He has it painted bright orange now!
