Never use parking brakes with hydraulic brakes… ive seen this many times. Only parking brake that you can rely on is a cable style. use park in transmission thats what its there for.
If you check the manual in allot of atv and SxS it says not to use parking gear because if a strap comes loose and you come to a sudden stop the machine can jerk forward or backwards and sheer the parking pin and damage transmission, I have seen it happen , best thing to do is to get tire straps then machine has no way of moving ,
@@Abel-Harland every manufacturer has a different style of transmission, and they will say in the owners manual how to properly transport them, With my SxS the manual says to put it in any gear expect for park and to secure the wheels to prevent movement “Never transport with the gear selector in the parking position. Damage to the engine and transmission may result.”
@@FOGELL_TheGreat yeah I get that, just stupid that they build them in a way that it can get damaged 🤦♂️ At that point don’t even put a park brake on it.
These are the kind of things I dislike about Can-Am. True, it is wise to read the owners manual, as there is information in there most riders wouldn’t even know. If after reading the owners manual, and doing everything the way it’s says, and you still have a failure then it’s on Can Am to replace it. If you do not read the owners manual and park it the way it says not to, then you may be responsible for the repairs. If the dealer asks you, and you tell them something the owners manual specifically tells you not to do, you may have to cover the cost of repairs needed. I recommend always reading the owners manual. ( Over 30yrs of riding experience, from Southern West Virginia, down where the Hatfield and McCoy trails are ). Read the owners manual, real experience advises this. Not every machine, or model is the same, make sure what to do for your specific machine, and model, regarding anything about the machine.

@@FOGELL_TheGreat the grizzlies don’t have park brakes at all. I’ve parked on extremely steep hills with a heavy trailer, never had an issue.
