Has anyone ever ran into a situation where the hand brake will completely fade away? I was in the bush using my ‘17 avenger for hunting, maneuvering around beaver stumps and over logs. When I squeezed the handbrake, it went completely to the handlebar, I had to pump it several times to get it to pressure up again. It kept doing this all day long, but seemed to work perfectly after I got to the trail and smooth going. Not sure how the disc could possibly wobble around that much to push the calipers that far open when the going get rough.
Yes my 2013 HDI has done it since new. It works fine most of the time but every once in a while there is no brake and you have to pump it up. I swapped out the master cylinder thinking that was the problem but the problem continues. I rarely use the brake and have been quite surprised on occasion when it does not work; so if I remember to, I occasionally check to make sure it has pressure. Let us all know if you get this figured out. I suspect more of us are experiencing this. My Argo dealer is more than willing to figure this out and that is where I got the new master cylinder but I have learned to deal with it and don't want to take the time to have my dealer work on it. My HDI can sit in the shop for a month and work OK but float in a lake for an hour and have no brakes when you get to shore.
