Why is it I am going threw a set of rear brake pads every 2-3 rides approx 10 hours? The brake pads I am using are the EBC. And they are wearing evenly. Any ideas?

 

do you use any front break? thats where all of your stoping power is

 

i will admit on my first set (the stock pads) I used the rear brakes ALOT!!! and when they wore out in 2 months and I replaced them 2 weeks ago I have no used the rear brakes much at all because of the quick ware factor.

 

"WARE"... what's that? Very simple...use 85% FRONT braking. I brake hard, and don't go through brake pads in 4-5 years.

 

i do ALOT of hillclimbing,so i use the back brakes alot coming back down...my stock pads didnt last long either......try ebc severe duty pads,,,,they have worked 4 me on my last few quads....they last at least 3 times longer

 

take your parknig brake off....

if i remember rgiht the 700 has a self adjusting parking brake... which would mean they are constantly movign the pads closer to kee pthe PB in adjustment

 

Would that be doing it?

 

Could....pick up the a$$ end of the quad and rotate the tires; see if it's dragging.
