Default Worn brakes

Has anyone had brakes problems? Myself and 4 other Teryx's have no brakes left at 120 miles.

No matter how many times I re-bleed mine, it always pulls to the right when braking. The only thing I can think is that I contaminated the left brake pads?

all of our front brakes are metal on metal. the only reason we check them is because one of them started to squeal.

are you saying the pads are worn to the plates, or are there other issues?

I just switched to EBC extreme duty pads on mine. I ride in lots of mud an silty sand and it ate my stocks up QUICK!! I'll let you guys know how the EBCs hold up.

One thing to think about, is be careful about what brake pads you get, if you run alot of mud and sand and you get a hard pad material, you can actually screw the rotor up before you wear the pads out, sometimes its cheaper to just replace pads, but it does seem unusual that yours went so quick.

If there are 5 of you with the same mileage and same wear rate, its the ridding you do.
What type of riding is it? High speed straights with low speed turns can put the hurt on a set of pads very quickly, even faster if you have added a bunch of weight with mods and passengers.

we are putting the EBC on ours now. let me know if anyone has used these before. hopefully they will work better than the stock ones.

3 of us ride the same. we ride hard in the sand and mud. the other 2 ride completely diifferent( general use ).
