Has anyone replaced the brakes on the 650?
Just called my dealer and he told me they were 40 dollars a pad! =$160, hope he's full of it!

 

I forget where I saw it but they are $25 a side. I will look into where I saw it for you unless someone else knows where they are.

 

try HEREjust enter in the info and it will give you the pric and availability they are 24.99 a side.

 

Checked out Rockymountain and they werent in stock, had to buy them from a local dealer! Those little dumplings cost me a fair price of $82, man cant beat that deal! Anyone buy front brakes for the 650 yet? Just curious if I may be using them a little too much!

 

Erlandson Performance has them as well as the wave rotors if you do a lot of mud riding.

Wouldn't the rotors only need replaced up front? The rear is a sealed brake and should take a lot more wear and tear than the front rotors.

 

Rear rotors do need replacing but if I remember correctly the service manual said the life of the rear brakes were about 6000 miles. However like any friction surface it will require some sort of maintenance at that service time. I do not know what the rear brake system will be like when I tear down but imagine it is like an automatic transmission or bulldoze brake and if so then when you replace the friction plates you will need to replace the "steels" as well. Hope this helps
