No breaks after rolling sled?

[skegpro]

Seen some chatter about guys having no breaks after they roll their 2020 sled to get it unstuck?

Yup, I have the no brake issue after a rollover. I tried topping up the fluid to no avail. Not sure what the solution is for this one, or why it never happened on any other sled I've ridden. My buddy has a '19 MC with the same issue.

Was just going to say my '19 does it.

Really 19 too.
My 18 has spent alot of time on her back, no issues.

Quality of these sleds is in decline.

Rolled mine twice now and no issues.

I think the 19/20 have a new master cylinder design

Part of me wonders if the brake is getting squeezed while inverted and pumping air in to the system.

It's a Hayes system, would be good you'd think.

No issues on my 19'. Been upside down a lot.

My 19 Alpha did this on the first ride. Just kept pumping the lever and it returned to normal. Topped up the reservoir once home and have never had it happen again.

My 2020 lost brakes after it was upside down for at least 5 min. Pumped brake approx 5-10 times once sled was upright to bleed air and no more issue. Brakes were not touched while it was upside down. Didn’t happen any of times I rolled it over for only a minute. Never had this issue with any Polaris or older cat.

Good to know, have to watch out for this since brakes are kinda important.

Yeah a bit scary the first time i hopped back on heading down a steep incline towards a bunch of trees. Thankfully the clutching works so well to engine brake these things.

 

[lilduke]

yeah just pump the brakes a few times after rolling and they should come back

Same issue on 2020 hardcore,strange thing,I bled the brakes and filled the reservoir as full as possible,not sure if it will fix the issue,but should find out soon

Seen it happen on many makes and models of sleds, not an uncommon thing

My 19 alpha also has done this to me, Every time it has, pumping the brakes after will bring it back. I took the cap off to top up the fluid and the last time I rolled it I had half brakes instead of total loss. your getting air into the line when upside down unfortunately. Probably the valving design around the piston.

I usually take a break after I roll my sled to recharge. To say no breaks as a general rule seems like self punishment.
