I have a friend of mine who has a 2007 Sportsman 500 H.O. and has an issue with the foot brake not working. The dealer tells him it's not supposed to work and that he should use the hand brake. The brake actually does work but it doesn't even start activating until the lever is completely bottomed out. There is about 1/4" of space between the end of the brake plunger and the activating tab on the foot brake lever.

Is this right?
Is there an adjustment?
Anyone have issues like this?
