Ok does anyone out there have a preference for the rear pads on a 00' Kodiak?? I see you can get metal or kevlar, just wondering what would be better for mostly woods riding and going through water also. Thanks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Just tell them you want the severe duty pads, I believe they are sintered metal. Kodiak brakes dont last at all so get the strongest you can!

 

I agree the rear pads wear out in about one season of riding in mud and sand and this is normal for most any machine riding in lots of mud and water I averaged about 900 miles on my third set.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Thanks for the help I'll be going w/ the sintered metal ones!! Yea they definetley wear out fast that was one thing I read in a review a couple years back. This is the first set I'm putting on though so they didn't do too bad I guess[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Dirt,if you find SV duty pads for the rear let me know.Sv duty pads are available for the front but the sintered metal are the best I have found for the rear.I can't seem to get more than 150 miles out of the rears.I swear I don't even use them.That rotor acts like a lathe when mud and sand get in there and grinds them down.Yamaha added a shield to the 2002 model.I wonder if it helps? Rockymountain atv is where I usually get my pads.

Thanks Kodiac1 yeah they definetley act like a lathe I've put ALOT of miles on them and haven't replaced them yet so guess I'm not doing too bad. Like to learn more about that shield though. I'm going to order them through Rockymountain this week! thanks again
