New brake on the 22-23. It has a "softer, more progressive feel" vs. the axys that was more abrupt so you couldn't drag it w/o noticing
The Brake stop ride, What is the real issue
- Thread starter mt.sledder
- Start date
Updated today
Last year, mine showed up in March… Count your blessings?
So the fix is to choke the motor instead of putting a proper brake on it. Seems like a bandaid . Get ice or something in the lever and it could be problematic all day.
Hope aftermarket comes up with something better
I believe you have air in the line. The new Hayes master is very aggressive.

I get the gauntlet thing but that’s not exactly a ‘fix’ in my opinion. Should not have to add parts to keep snow off of a snowmobile to keep it working properly
Cost and time aside shouldn’t the real fix be going back to a different style brake like the axys or pro ride sleds? I’d assume next years model will be redesigned
TRS - all the testing and experimenting you do is very much appreciated. Please keep us updated if you find something that works better
Mine showed up late april 2022 and the throttle bodies were f@#$ed up, still havent had my first ride as there is not much snow right now
Was just out doing some yard rips to test some clutch work. Was paying attention to when brake light came on relative to how far brake lever was depressed. It sure didn’t take much. Just the very slightest movement of the lever tripped brake light and dash light.
Also had it up on a stand spinning track. By no means was there any noticeable braking when the brake light first tripped
If that’s what triggers the engine de-tune (allegedly) I think it could be problematic or at the very least irritating

It's pretty funny, they have built sleds for several decades and now they have problems with brakes getting hot because it not release properly. That's the first joke, the second is that they think it will be fixed by with the software when it's obviusly all mechanic stuff. Very silly if you ask me
The problem is many of us keep a finger on the brake at all times and are braking and throttling at the same time when sidehilling steep terrain to reset the track and stay powered using this technique. The reflash is to prevent the option to be under throttle while riding the brake which many riders prefer to do. Obviously riding the brakes while keeping the power on will cause heating of the brakes.
Of course the brakes will be hot by that riding style, but there's a long time until the heat will be a problem because of it if you ask me. Apparently the plunges aren't released properly at some machines, before they're getting hot.
Ih hasnt been a problem for most.
