Auxiliary Brake

mike29 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-05-2004, 09:50 PM

Hey all
I wrote to Polaris to tell them how that the auxiliary brake does not work and they just gave me the run around. Here is what they told me I know you all get a good laughed out of it

We have reviewed my letter and would advise that I review the outline of the auxiliary brake that is in my owners manual. AS I stated it is a back up brake and is not to be used as a routine braking system. IF in reviewing my owners manual. I do not feel that it is performing properly we would encourage you to visit your local dealer for them to inspect it.

so there you go people all So help they were

This is typical, my polaris dealer are arse's as well. You are better off doing it yourself, get a service manual and fix everything yourself!!!

The brake also went out on mine and I just bought a new one. It was easy to put in.

My brake never WENT, it wasn't there to begin with

Dealer said this is normal and I said, why bother having it if it doesn't stop you??
Can you really call it a brake??? Shouldn't it be called a broke :hysterical:
