Sticking brakes Sportsman 850

My new 2016 Sportsman 850 has about 35 hrs on it. I broke it in per manual and am easy on the brakes.
Twice the brakes locked up after stopping with the handbrake. I had to hold the handle in firmly while giving the engine a wack to free them.

Any thoughts on why the brakes would stick? Anyone else experience this?

Polaris Tough Rack

I went by my dealer on Saturday to get them to install the fix for the heat issues and while I was there I saw the new Sportsman 450 Utility. I loved how they made an actual rack for the front lid. I did some searching today and found that they are selling it as an accessory. I think I might have to upgrade to it and take off my rack extender. I'm glad that Polaris came out with this.

Charging Issue/Battery

2016 Sportsman 570. Would not crank, checked battery, charged, cranked, ran for a short period of time ( road over a two mile trai and back) re-cranked, then died would not start, showed low voltage. Had battery checked at NAPA, replaced with Same type of Battery. Ran fine for a couple of days. Battery acts as if it is not charging, shows draw down to 10.3 on instrument panel.( not seeing an engine light or code) I have checked for the obvious, loose connections, skinned wires,etc. I have looked at the Forum and see discussion on rectifier's and stators. What should the output be on the STATOR and what should the output be from the Rectifier? I have an LED light bar added and I have checked it to make sure nothing is jacked up with it. A little frustrated as I have had a fuel pump replaced under warranty and it took them three weeks to deal with that and three trips back to the dealership. Not very please with POLARIS at this time.

2017 Phoenix grinding noise

I got my kids a brand new Phoenix and it is great until they try to go up a steep hill or a jump. Then it makes a horrible grinding noise. Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks in advance.
