I had enough room in my garage for 1 of my three wheelers so the other 2 had to sit out behind the garage and now one of my big reds I had outside wont even move!I cant even get it to roll,yes its in neutral.Brakes look like their free...Im not sure what the problem is?

It's been very cold here with snow the past week and its been sitting out all week with temps 10-30 degrees.Is it 'frozen' up fom the cold?How can I get it to roll again?

is it possible the rear brakes got wet inside the covers - and froze up? this happens to me frequently with my winter rides - I need to thaw them and then they are fine. Any way to get it into the heat for a while?

Are the tires frozen to the ground?

Those brake shoes like to come free from the lining, check the brake drum............

Happened to me 2 nights ago on my YTM200ER. All I did was undo the adjustment screw on the rears, they let go, then readjust them. All good.

My BR is in a heated garage waiting to plow snow in this next storm... 8-12 inches!
