2006 Sportsman 450 here, and I just bought this about a week ago. The foot peddle brake is stuck/seized up and doesnt work any more. My dad went to the Polaris store and they said to not even bother fixing it, and that its a back up if the hand brake ever fails, and its not worth fixing. It also says in the manual the same thing…that its mainly for a back up and only stops the back wheels anyway. So my question is, should I bother fixing it? or just use the hand brake like everyone else is telling me. Anyone else have any experience with this? Is it hard to change out?

Any information would help greatly. 🙂 Thanks!!! :tee:
