Brakesssssssssssss

I put my third set of rear brakes on today that would be four including the stockers. The last ones were sintered pads, but I only got around 400 to 500 miles on em. I used the KBC,s (not sintered) for the previous two sets because that was what the local shop had on hand at the time. The sintered lasted a little longer but not much. I went back to the stockers. I got about 1100 miles off the factory pads.....doing the math made them seem like the best choice. I have 2300 miles now so as you can see about 400 miles on average for the aftermarket pads.

My disk seems to be in fairly good shape.

What is your experince with brakes? How many miles you get out of pads

Depends greatly on the terrain your riding in. If your up and down alot of hills, they wont last long. I got 600 miles out of my stockers.

I thought i remember you saying something about it.

Yea, I thought they were going out again with only 250 miles on them. But, it was just a little rock stuck in there that was making the noise.

I have 800 miles on my stockers. I don't think it's your brakes Dave, I have seen your driving

I blame it on Yamaha for not putting a bulldog gear in these things for going down hills. :<club: :<spank:

My stockers lasted (rear) around 400.

lets get a class action suit against yamaha for not putting ample stopping equipment on board!

I am glad they change the brakes. I would be pissed. My rhino is six months old with 800 miles.

Just called my lawyer.

I have 4,030 on my original pads........Man Cat makes a good product
