I just did this on my 2005 Sportsman 500 HO, and I don’t know what I was expecting? For some reason since there is a new caliper, new pads for that rear caliper, I even installed a new rear master cylinder and thought that I would actually have a rear brake when I pushed the foot pedal. I bled the system very well, it just seems like the “back brake” is mostly for putting the trans in park or high, and does literally nothing for slowing and stopping. I made a light mark on the rear rotor, then roads out of garage and pushed rear brake pedal and it removed my mark, so it’s working, just annoying to not have any slowing power.
I need to change the lines on my 2004 sportsman 500. For the life of me I can't find a good diagram and I noticed it looks like the transmission is sitting on the lines and pinching them against the frame. Any help on getting the diagram?
That’s going to be a nice four wheeler, it’s coming along great. Thanks for sharing, be well.
Thanks hatch little bit at a time
Quality content Brother! Great Installation video!
Just for future reference bleeding the brakes it should have a lock lever on the brake handle for the parking brake
I cant believe I didnt think of that hahaha
Nicely done , best wishes getting your wheeler up and running .
Be sure to check bushings too, mine were dry rotted and crumbling. Could literally swing the A arms back n forth
Yeah I ordered bushing but found out it needs bearings in the front diff also
Do you bleed out both sides?
The 800 had brakes on both rear tires the 700 only has one rear brake on the right rear side
It looks like Dixie wants to learn how to work on a bike lol
She watched me the whole time she loves laying by the wood burner
I don't blame her that is where I would be too lol.

Could this be why my 04 polaris 700 twin makes a knocking noise when I use the foot brake?
Im not sure man it could be

I wouldn't have a clue to be honest I didn't really look at the lines on mine besides right where the calipers are
