I need a good set of brakes. I just put new brakes on the front of my 750 about a month ago and now there gone. They cost me $55.00. Any ideas?

Where did they go? I have had the same set of brakes on my 03 Popo since new and they are not even half worn out. I have never had disc brakes wear out that fast.

yea they only lasted about 2 rides. Its the same deal with my sport quads. Am i doing something wrong? maybe i should stick with OEM brakes?

 

[sdf1201]

OEM may be the way to go. I have a 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 quads, all with OEM brakes on them. I think my Popo has 2500 miles on those brakes and most of the time it was ridden in mud.

2 rides an the brakes are gone?!?!?!?! Holy crap!!! I would check to make sure the calipers arent sticking a bit causing the pads to wear out so fast.

Maybe not you...but there's definitely something wrong there. Is it the front brakes only? Unless they were 4,000 mile rides, there's a problem.

I use my front brakes a whole lot. I also go up and down a lot of hills to. Maybe that's my prob. Maybe I need to start using my rear brakes a little more.
