I think it's time for me to replace my brake pads, they're squealing. To be honest, I have not replaced pads in a while on my atvs, and I have my Grizzly now, and it's due. So, I'm sure I can find a set most anywhere, even get the OEMs.

Just curious, does anyone have an aftermarket brand preference in brake pads for ATVs? If so, where do you get them?

I would go by on what type of dirt you ride in. We tend to have more sand here which will eat up the pads quicker than any other dirt. I always go with a harder pad for my sons and wifes because the love the mud. I have a raptor 350 which sucks in the mud so i use softer pads on mine.

EBC, a little more spendy than other brands, but I think they are worth it. It's not like brake pads are that expensive anyhow. I usually get most of my stuff from RMATV, but I know BikeBandit has them too, I'm sure most other places carry them, they are a pretty popular product.

We took a gamble a few years ago on a Brand called Tusk. Now we get ALL our clutches and brake pads from this brand. RMATV sells them and very affordable. A full clutch pack for our Tecates runs $46, that's for Fibers, Steels and Springs...not bad. Their brake pads have served us just as well for just as affordably.

I am currently using EBC sintered pads and I am not happy with them. They are wearing very quick.

Also anyone know how to stop mud from building up in the brake caliper area? After a couple of rides I have to take apart the rear caliper because its packed with mud and I have no rear brake.

And NO I will continue to ride in mud!!

if you have the rotors with holes drilled in them its going to wear out pads alot faster in the sand and mudd ...i chainged my rotors over to solid non drilled and brake pads lasted 3 to 4 times as long ... and i was riding about the same conditions as you ...

if you have a non drilled rotor on the rear the mudd and debrees will not ware the pads as fast cause its not getting inbetween the rotor and pads as much as with a drilled rotor ....its a proven fact... i have raced and ridden with several racers and have a few friends that are mechanics for racers and on wet muddy tracks and sandy tracks they will chainge the rear rotors to solid non drilled so the pads will last longer durring that race ... drilled rotors dissapate heat better than non drilled ... but will cause brake pads to ware much faster because the holes in them will pick up debries and hold them in the holes and wear the pads much faster ... take this from a 40 year old man who has a small repair shop and has raced and has alot more experience than kids on this site ...

My problem seems to be that the mud gets compacted around the brake pads. To me it seems like im trying to compress the mud instead of the pads. After a couple of nasty mud runs, I literally have no rear brake at all. Stomping on the foot lever does nothing till i clean em.

I have a drilled rear rotor

      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

      whats the best way to seal the bead on a tire
    • By Randomnumber73
      I'm working on my uncles grizzly and it sparks once on initial cranking then no more after that. If I let off the start button then press the start button again it will spark once then stop sparking. I was wondering if anyone seen this issue before.  Also I've never used forums before so sorry if this question is in the wrong location.

      I am new to this site. Now down to business, I have been given a Kawasaki 220, tires are trashed and it has been setting for a long time. Do I need a battery in it to find neutral? I know there is a neutral switch and if I shift down(7 times????)   then up one using the neutral switch I should be in Neutral. As you see I am in a learning curve here ......coments welcome.
