Parking brake repair

[Brander]

Okay well I let my old man take my SE out for the weekend and I think he rode it with the parking brake on. The parking brake will not stop the sled from rolling back when loading it on the tilt trailer. I looked at the belt and it seems fine.
So the question is: can i adjust the parking brake cable so it engages or do i have to replace the whole parking brake assembly down on the brake disc. There is a noticeable decrease in the cable tension when i engage the park brake now. And the hand brake still works fine. Any help is appreciated thx.

remove right side cover and adjust the barrel adjuster.

good time to check the chain tension also

I will take a look at that. How exactly do I adjust it? Is there a bolt I tighten?
Does the chain tension have anything to do with riding with the parking brake on? Because I just got the sled back from its 10 hour check at the dealer a couple of weeks ago. They should have checked it right?

yah, they should have checked/adjusted it during the 10hr service.

the parking brake is not part of the hyd brake system. You'll see a thumb screw adjuster barrel at the end of the cable. Loosen the jam nut and tighten the cable free play.
