Just got my sled back from getting the clutch updated, so i took it out to see how it was. Finally found some powder, so i put the flipper to the bar. My sled would only do 7700 rpm with the parking brake on, then it lit on fire. Burned a up a bunch of stuff!! Had to be towed out. was able to put out the fire before too much damage$$$

lol, ouch mate.
Brutal. Happened to a buddy who jumped on his girlfriends sled for a quick spin when we were having lunch. not pretty.
Had a friend of ours do the same thing. She did about 3500 in damage.

when i bought my sled, it was my first, and my dealer told me to always put the parking break on full the position, that way if you do try to go, the track won't spin and should clue you in that it's on
one time i put it on half way and realized i was riding with it on, luckily only a couple seonds, doh!

Thats some funny chit! Thanks for making me feel better
Wow guys...those stories make me laugh and cringe at the same time.
Sorry to hear about your troubles...we all make mistakes from time to time.
As a side note...I have never used my parking brake cause I usually try to park on a flat spot instead of down hill. Just to save myself from committing a Dum Dum!

I have blown two engines this year for the low low price of $1700. I feel your pain.
You are a hell of a guy to make that post.

Some funny stories for sure! Expensive mind you! 
I'm surprised the manufacturers haven't incorporated a limiter when the park brake is on. My Yamaha Wolverine had it. Bought it new, took it from the dealer straight out to the trail for it's first ride. Couldn't get it off the truck, just sputtered. Finally figured it out after a minute or 2.
