I am looking for some opinions about brake pad compound preference . This atv is not run in the mud , rather on steep hilly terrain and trails . Secondly , are there any alternatives to the factory type front axle boots ? Thanx in advance for any and all info !!!!!!

I like to use EBC severe duty brake pads. They seem to last the longest.

 

When I had my wolv, I replaced my front axle boots with a set from Moose. They are a hell of alot thicker/puncture resistant and I'm pretty sure thay are priced very reasonable compared to genuine boots.

 

Yeah, the after market boots are alot thicker and same price as OEM Hey Chad how do you like the 489,s how do they compare to stock? Are the heavy? Did you have power loss? thanks

 

Eja,

The 489's are quite a bit heavier than stock. They seem to wear well, but are a really hard compound and don't grip well in hard pack that is wet. I like sticking with the 23", but next time I think I might opt for the 4 ply AT's. It's nice to have the peace of mind when you have 6 plies, but it is a noticeable weight increase.
