General Discussion / New 22 u-1000 brakes terrible
December 16, 2022, 08:47:28 PM
Hey all,

Just picked up brand new 2022 uforce 1000 today.  Less than a mile on it at pick up.  Towed it an hour home.  Might have been shoody strap and winch job, but the ebrake didnt hold it in place at all- moved back about 4 inches (did i mention shoddy strap job? Thought winch would help hold so didnt worry, but didnt think that wire may have give in it).
Anywho, one i got it off trailer i took it for maiden drive on property.  First thing i noticed is the brakes suck.  Sure, engine slows it down great, but on a hill i had to push brake pedal down as hard as possible to stop (had to switch to 4x4).  Then, going down hill it was all i could do to stop.

Are the brakes terrible or is there something i should look for on my brand new machine with now 6 miles on it?  Is it maybe a breaking in period on the brakes?

Thanks in advance!  This is my first atv/utv of any kind, first brand new vehicle for that matter.
