I love spinning my tires and making some ruts around the land i ride on... There are some already decent ones there but me and my friends like to see how deep of ones we can make. Its hard to just floor the throttle and spin those things and i noticed you can spin them buy just holding the brake down and hitting the gas like in a car, i guess it is more front brake or something... I was just wondering if this was bad for anything other than wearing the back brakes down a little faster... How much faster will this wear them down btw? And how much are they and how hard are they to replace... I can deal with some brake pads down the road but if it is hard on the motor or tranny i guess i shouldn't do it... Thanks

 

its the same affect on your atv as it is on your car or truck. plain and simple done once in a while is no biggie but making a habbit of it will ruin your rotors, brake pads, put excessive wear on your tranny and motor.

 

my friend tore the rear end out of his truck, not to mention the tires. under warrenty he took it back and was fixed but they new what he was doing because of his tires. if you have an arctic cat then your one and only brake lever also works the rear brakes so the pad and rotor will be ruined also. think about it... thats alot of pressure on the whole drivetrain, but its your bike.

 

So even if im not hitting the brakes hard while doing it it puts a lot of stress on it?
