How to Polaris Sportsman brakes

[@christopherjholland]

Thanks a bunch. This is my next project.

The 3/16 Allen head bolt. Is that adjustable or just tighten it up. I'm not sure what it's for. My fronts were ok, but my rear brakes were toast.

[@canamsledder]

Just tighten it up.

[@vincedangiolo9970]

Great video thanks

[@paulsmith869]

Do u bleed breaks after that?

[@canamsledder]

No, no need to.

[@LoneWolfOU8121]

that screw is pad tightness adjustment. 3/16 . don't over tighten

[@scblueline2001]

Where did you purchase those braided brake lines?

[@canamsledder]

They were on it, thought they were stock.

[@scblueline2001]

Ohh ok thank you

[@scblueline2001]

Stock ones aren’t braided and mine is rung on the end that goes into rear master cylinder

[@canamsledder]

@@scblueline2001 Beats me then. It does say Polaris on it.

I have a 2000 ploaris xplorer that i put brand new caliper on rear brake but still doesn't work as it should. My caliper came with brakes on it but had no spacer btn pads. Wonder if that is the problem

I would have cleaned the posts, grease them very Lightly
