Well i can tighten it up one day and within a week it quits holding? no biggie since i can just throw it in gear, but just wanting to know why it loses it pressure.

Best bet is to get rid of it.

Why does everyone get rid of them? mine was cut off when i got it. I think it would be handy as people say not to put it in gear during transport due to the rocking.

Some are worried about getting every ounce of un needed weight off. Mostly because they are nothing but problems with hanging up etc. Get rid of it and tie it down when hauling it if you're worried about that.

Best to get rid of it and put a block off on. It is just not made to rattle around back there you will always be adjusting it. When I travel I just make sure I strap rear and front and leave it in neutral.

I also strap mine down most of the time. My warrior Parking Brake was off also i guess there just annoying.

Mine only work for the ride home from the dealer, it never worked after that. I soon removed it. I think that why the all get taken off. That’s one design Honda can’t or won’t fix.

well in order to keep it working u need to adjust it allmost after every ride b/c the pad wears a little ever ride and throws the brake cable off. but if it is adjusted to much u can wear out ur pads fast.

you eventually get tired of adjusting it and remove it. now when i get a new quad if its not already removed i remove it.

very few still have it on, mine didnt come with one since I bought it used and someone already put a block off on.

I see no use to it, just lock it in gear and tie it down. Locking it in gear it wont move anyways.
