on a trail somewhere
anyone ever been dumb enough to ride around with their parking brake on? (besides me, i mean)
i have a tilt trailer, and I set the brake when i loaded the sled.... #$%&*
 

I did just just like 25 yards once. Why do you ask?
 
i think most have done it once on these sleds its just so easy to do, but i know if i rev it up more than usual something is up and its the first place i look!

Took mine off after my first rip with it on, I now use a Velcro wrap for the odd time I need it. Can't hold grip with wrap in the way.. And I lost a few pounds..
 
well, i did. I had to rev it up a bit to get it to move on the trailer, i stood there and thought, "huh, it must be frozen to the trailer"..
so then i got it unloaded and proceeded to ride it for about 1000ft before realizing what that strange sound was.... :o|

And how fast it stops after you let off the gas followed by that nice smell!!!!

once a friend and i had a bet on a race between us,he had a 02 polaris 600 and i had my 06 nytro,when we were lining up he had another guy distract me while he put my parking brake on,didn't notice it and took off and whaled on his #*$&@,after the race he came over to see if i had took my parking brake off which i still hadn't noticed,which were now ruined,he got to buy me some new pads and help me install and adjust them.

I have done it myself. I used a black paint marker and wrote in the hand guard CK P.B. Lot easier to unload with the brake off. :Rockon:
 
so i went ahead and ordered replacemnt pads for my parking brake.
i need it because of the tilt trailer loading..
they should be in tommorrow...
anyone ever change them before?
it looks fairly simple. but then again, so am I :exc:
 
It burnt through the brake pads? I would have gone through the belt would have gone first.
