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.
