HAS any of you noticed how fast the Predator goes through rear brake pads??Have you also noticed How much noise they make too??
Once again I have found another crappy design on the Pred.Take a good look at your rear brake, I'm sure that it moves up and down abit. don't worry they all do that!This causes the Pads to wear out Very fast!!! also they are very loud when going over ruff ground because they move so much.
WELL I got sick of replacing pads and hearing the noise it made so, i fixed it. ALL I did was put a bunch of ZIP TIES on it from the brake to the swingarm bolt for Axle carrier. SLIT the ties between the brake caliper and the bracket the holds the brake on the carrier,then zip them around the Bolt on swingarm under the brake.THATS IT!!
I used three of hen all on the same bolt through the same spot. SO FAR IT WORK GOOD!!! It's a rig job that works and can't be seen because the ties are covered by the brake it self.
I don't undersand WHy polaris put that brake on like that.It could have had some welded on bracket from the swingarm like every other quad. GOOD IDEA , HANG IT ON WITH A SNAP RING--WAY TO GO POLARIS!!

 

i was also gonna try to rig a way to get that from not moving.. its a PITA

 

It that just with the 03s or do the 04s have the same problem? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] hope they have all the little bugs worked out before i buy one this summer!

 

MINE IS A 04 PRED. SO THERE IS NO DIFFERANCE BETWEEN 03 AND 04

 

Oh, well at leat its a easy fix.... Thanks for the input Matt[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
