Default question about my front disk brakes.

I have a 2003 big bear 4x4. It is an incredible machine. It burns my freinds' ranchers, recons, foremans (dominates hondas), and could keep up with some sports. I plow 2 feet of snow uphill no problem with stock tires and no chains. I keep it in good shape and it has only been flipped once. But i ahve had a problem with my front disk brakes, every time i use them i get that annoying squeek, its not a big deal and i am not what you call a mechanic in any way, shape, or form soo i am looking for an easy solution to this problem. Also i am wondering what a good upgrade would be i have about 400 to spend right now and i cant decide whether i want a winch, if there is a better upgrade that i should get, please inform me. Thank you

I wouldnt think to much of it, if you go alittle searching you'll see that everyone has problems with there brakes squeaking. As for what you want to do with your 400 dollars. If you riding conditions are muddy and you or your friends get stuck alot then i suggest you go ahead and get the winch. I can see you allready got the performance you want from the bike so stick your money some where else. Invest in a good set of rims and tires and a lift kit if you go to an oversize.

I did not leave the parking brake on during storage and it is the front brakes that I'm having trouble with.

You've got dirt in between the pads an rotors. Use a pressure washer. Surprised no one has mentioned that yet.

this guy does not even own a quad!!!! TITCHICKEN has been harrasing ALL OF THE FORUMS him and his buddy FORMAN450cc...they have been kicked off of here and they come back under other names, so if you see VERY STUPID questions posted try to ignore them, im shure the MODS will find out who they really are, maybe one day they will get the exposure they dont want... PS i already know that they are not kids

I don't know anything about the blue gill but I am quite sure that it doesn't have disk brakes.
