what is the average time it takes for your brakes to wear? mine have worn a little too fast it seems. i think we changed them about 7 months ago and now they are worn on the outside but not all the way on the inside on the front 2 disk...????

 

Have 1700 miles on my origionals, then last time out lost a rear pad which cost me a caliper piston & seal.

 

i know i havent went 1700 miles on these. i bought a cheap brand off ebay, what brand is everyone running these days?

 

My GF 05 outlander 400 was metal to rotor after less than a thousand miles. Just put EBC SV (severe duty) series pads on. Have not had alot of chance to trail ride since but she says stops better now than when it was new. I had dealer do the work on mine since I knew caliper would have to be rebuilt. I am sure they put the polaris oem's back on it would rather have done the EBC here also.

 

Definately go with the EBC severe duty. Just put some on a friends sportsman 400 and they are awesome. They seem to have better stopping power than the originals. When mine wear out i'm going to get some. Haven't had them on long enough to really tell anything about wear but they are some thick pads.

 

i looked on ebay for those ebc severe duty and couldnt find any. where is the best place to order from and about how much for all 3 sets? thanks again

 

hey man same problem here .The pure polaris crap is cheaply made and over priced buy some after markets . do you climb and decend steep hills cause without the engine brake like the sportsmans we are sol

 

I got hers from Dennis Kirk. Probably could find cheaper but since is in MN is next day for me as they ship same day if order early enough..

Here is link to EBC's where to buy page.
