front brakes worn out

sinned96 · Dec 9, 2007

This is weird. I never use the front brakes and they are worn out with only 900 miles on the Wolfy. The back brakes are fine except for the squeaking. I guess I have a caliper sticking or something. I ordered some on eBay Item number: 270180664159 from this guy http://stores.ebay.com/Race-Driven-Online he wanted 34.95 for a full set I made an offer of 30 and he accepted. Guess I'll see how long these ones last.

just curious why you dont use your front brakes.....that is where most of you stopping power is....i mean to each his own, just curious...

Well maybe I shouldnt of said never but I rarely use them. I never have really seen a need to stop that quick while riding.

and your in texas, not many big hills there i reckon.....we ride the mountians, and without front brakes, your quad just slides...

Yea flat land Texas. But I do ride in the Ouachita mountains over near Poteau OK and even then with the engine braking and locked in 4wd going down mountain trails isnt too bad

brakes

mine lasted about the same, and i feel the same as you.... i do not think i use the brakes all that much...... i was told that you need to clean them out lots.... if you do any sort of riding in mud it gets in there and causes alot of wear......personally i think the brakes are just crap.......i had to buy mine from a dealr as i needed them in a hurry and got raped $ wise....but have since ordered them off ebay as well for much cheaper ... keep them as a spare set.

i also run a 25 inch tire,,,no :evil: t sure how much difference that makes.....
