Brake pads

O.k guys

What everyone using and how do you like the performance and longevity? Just past 750 miles, gotta get a set.

I still have my front factory pads on at 1450 miles. My rears have been changed once at 600 miles. I put these on the rear and have 850 miles on now and still pad left. I like them.

With all that being said, I have a complete set of EBC's from Bluegrass UTV that are going on soon. Those cheapy's from Ebay have done much better than expected. I would buy them again.

I know my rears are shot, fronts aren't making noise or grinding but gonna do em' all same time.

Found front and rears on e-bay for $36 total. Just wondering what others are having luck with?

E-Bay cheapies get my vote. 28.99 for a whole 660 set. Softer compound, so they don't last long ,but no noise and awesome stopping power because they are soft.

I have a couple of hundred miles on the cheap ebay ones and am very happy with them so far. I still have the front stock ones on but will put the ebay ones on when they go.

How many miles should I get from my factory pads? I plan on pulling them all this weekend to clean the pads and get any grit out of the pistons and rotors. I am sick of them squealing all the time while I am riding. I am also going to tighten my e brake cable so it will hold me on hills again.

All I can share is I got 750 miles out of the rear, fronts look to have another 100 or 200 miles left in them, but to save the time, I'm switching them all at once.

Stockers. I replaced them at about 1200 miles. The front were gone. I probably should have replaced the pads at 900 or so.

Damn Yank. 1400 miles on your front brakes. You need to get out and ride with me. I'll wear your brakes out with some down hill slides.

I was thinking about up grading to the larger diameter rear rotor kit. Any thoughts?

I can see me going to a high performance brake setup one of these days. Brakes are something I like to have more than other things. It does okay now, but I really like to be able to lock em up hard if I need to.

Damn I must be doing something wrong. I only get 300-350 Rears 600-700 Fronts. I tried some of the Ebay cheapies and the ones I bought I only rode one time. They squeaked so bad I would have took them off in the woods but didn't have the tools with me to do it. Maybe I need to get off the brakes and on the gas mo re.

i have about 800 miles on fronts but i think they need replaced going to put ebc on front cause i bought them when i bought my last set of rears. but i have son brakes fron atvbrakes and more (ebay) the pad looks a lot thicker then the ebc's i am going to put on this weekend. guys i ride with all buy there pads from ebay and all are happy

My rear pads have about 250 to 300 miles on them and they sound like they need replaced. I have drove with the parking break on a few times that probly did not help .

I got almost 1800 miles out of my factory pads. must be that getting on the gas in place of the brakes down hill..... follow WVRHINO, no time for brakes.

Different machine, but I got 4,500 out of my original brake pads.

Your talking about a dude that goes 50 miles at a time without ever touching them.

Actually....as little as I can....try to run the machine in a manner that I us the brakes as little as I can. But for real....4,500 miles and I just put new pads on yesterday

i just changed all my brakes i got 465 out of the ebc brakes on back and 809 out of the factory front pads. i should have changed the fronts at 750 i think.
