No,you have a speed sensor that has failed or lost it's proper gap. ( usually due to rust build up )

Because they can, Sure not right though. Find someone to do the work that cares about the customer.

We had a backyard mechanic do the brakes on our 2007 torrent, it drove ok but as soon as they warmed up a little they lock up, get burning hot, smoking red hot! It's been sitting awhile, battery has been dead, could it be a sensor or anyone have an idea of what it could be?? We really need some help, please anybody!!!!

it's for sure not a sensor.If the brakes are getting that hot something is to tight or not put together properly,have them reinspect their work.
