Brake Issue ’15 Sportsman

First of all hello to everyone, first post but I’ve been lurking for a while. Lots of good info here.

Here’s my issue

I bought the last 2015 570 from a dealer at the end of May. I’ve got right at 7 hours and 27 miles on it. This weekend I went to pull it out of the basement for a quick ride and the brake handle went all the way to the grip. Took me a few minutes but I got it to crank by playing with the handle and pulled it out of the basement to the trailer. It will stop the machine about half the time but the other half nothing half to use the foot pedal. I called the dealer and the tech advised that he’d never heard of that issue that I’d need to bring it in. Dropped it off yesterday haven’t heard back yet.

Anyone heard of or had this happen on their 570?

31s rub

Switched from 29.5 ol2s to 31 outlaws. With 2 riders it will rub the inner fender wells in some circumstances. Anyone have any fixes besides a lift? No spring spacers either. I have elka suspension. Seems like they rub the foot wells.

Frame brace

Guys, I seen on another topic couple comments on frame braces, I’d never heard of them before, well I finally got my bracket lift from high lifter for my 570. The brackets all fit up good. And I was thinking maybe the highlighter logo plate that Bolts across the back of the bike was kinda like the frame brace I saw. Well the logo doesn’t go on, the bolt holes don’t line up, I would have thought that with all the precision cutting in the logo and the brackets the holes would be right. Could my frame be a bit out of line already, is this what the frame braces prevent on other quads,

I need pricing advice PLEASE

First let me say this gal knows how to sling mud, crawl over jagged rocks, creep to the top of a steep embankment & make sure both myself & my 4 wheeler make it out safe. However, I don’t have the first clue about pricing it to sell. Up until now I’ve never sold anything with a motor, lol. I hate to start now & get a little nauseous thinking about selling my toy. But as a single mom to a beautiful 10 yr old daughter it’s necessary to make sure she’s good & ready for her first year of middle school. At least she still has her gocart & momma has her Jeep lol. Anyway, what would be a good starting price on a 2003 Rancher 350? I’ve had it 6 years, never had any problems with it, garage kept & honestly, I’ve taken it on maybe 10 good rides. Other than that it was short trips or my daughter riding it around the yard & not getting past 3rd. The only thing it needs at the present is brakes, carburetor cleaned & the gas line replaced because it dry rotted. I think that’s what it was anyway cause it had a tiny drip for close to a year then one day after I washed it I was pulling back in the garage & it started pouring gas. But from what my brother said & another friend of mine it wont take much to fix those few issues. Sorry for all that just to ask a good price but I want to make sure I t it all out there lol. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

2013 sportsman 500 strange steering issue

13 sportsman 500 really low hours and miles been running fine. Until tonight I ran off the road (on purpose) at probably not even 5mph and the ditch was rather deep and I jammed my front right wheel up the other side (nothing broken) all it did was whip my bars to the right. So put it in awd and backed out of the ditch then turned awd off and put it in high and woah steering is almost impossible and she won’t coast at all!!! What happened?????!!!!

ISO Looking to buy 23×8/12 tires and utility box lid

Hi guys I need 2 good used 23×8/12 tires for my fronts on my 2004 rancher TRX350. I bought the ATV for 400 bucks and it runs great but the tires are beyond bald theres no tread left on them and I had some swamp witchs for the backs but I need some for the fronts and I don’t want to pay $200 bucks for some tires for it so I’m looking for some used tires for it which seem hard to find. any one have any they want to sell that don’t cost a arm and leg I can pay via paypal. I’m also looking for the utility box lid green color as to its missing on mine if any one has any. theres a pic below of the lid.
