When I was sledding yesterday, I noticed a "weird" sound from the snowmobile.
When I was cruising over the meadow, I noticed a low and constant "bsseeep"-sound You know the sound the break disc makes when you do a easy and controlled break down? This sound, constantly.
It didn't go away, I had to stop driving. Have anybody else noticed this?

Again, I'm so sorry for my almost "non-readable" english!

If the micro switch hangs on, the brake-indicator lamp should have been on. It isn't.

before you grind on the lever, pull it off, if the piston on the master cylinder comes out more than a quarter of an inch, no amount of grinding is going to help. i have the same problem, tried grinding didn't make any difference. talked to my dealer, and he is looking into it.

Okey, I'll try to grind it.
If you hear something from your dealer, could you post it here? It would be fine to know what he says
Thanks!

Yeah, grinding is maybe not a good solution to start with. Cause of the warranty and so on.
I'll call my dealer tomorrow, and hear his thoughts about it

We lowered the amount of brake fluid in the res. When the fluid got hot and expanded the brake would apply. It fixed this one don't know if your problem is the same.

mine has been doing it the past 2 rides, I will have to try and remove some brake fluid from the reseivor. I figured it was the pads grabbing the brake cause everytime I would pull on the brake lever the noise would get a little louder.
