Hello everyone ! I’m new to the forums. I have a 2013 Grizzly 700 , only 30 hours on the machine, and already have a brake problem. Here’s the scenario……

Last week I went riding with a buddy on his land (trails, mud pits, swamps). After riding for about 2 hours my rear brakes started to lock up. The lever was hard to pull and i could feel the Rear brakes being applied even though I wan’t touching the brakes.

We immediately drove back to my friends house, took the wheels off , and pried on the brake pads enough to release the pressure. The Brakes are now free but my Rear brake lever and foot pedal go all the way in now without engaging the brakes whatsoever.

This is my first atv and I just wanted some thoughts from some of you guys with experience before I start replacing/doing things to it that may be unnecessary. Thanks !
