Can anyone tell me how to adjust he hand brake on an RTV 500? I just can't find anything online and I don't see an easy way to tighten it. The brakes work fine with the pedal. The hand brake comes up easily but only lightly engaged the brake.

Lift seat, look for hand brake support. Loosen
two 10mm nuts. Turn inside nut to lengthen cable.
Lock jam nut when done.

Thanks. That did it. This is what I originally thought but wasn't sure when I looked at it a few weeks ago before your post. When I cleaned all the accumulated gunk off it was clear. Still had to hit it with some silicone spray to break the nuts free. But all adjusted now.
