Unhappy Parking brake Stuck?

I parked my KVF 650 with the parking brake on and now when I try to release it, it only goes about half way out. The brake is stuck on as the quad will barely move. Any ideas?

you might try oiling the cable for the parking brake. It might have some moisture in the cable line. just put some oil down the line and try pushing the brake on and then release it a few times and see if that helps you out.
If not try getting to the brake and make sure there isn't any things going on in the brake it's self.

Talking Hey there

Thanks I will try that. I was able to loosen the wing nut at the back of the quad to release the brake but the cable is still not pulling back. I will try and spray it and see what comes of it.
