Brake Pad Question. I am wanting to replace my brake pads, 3 sets 2 front and 1 rear, I can replace them for $90 dollars from the OEM (orginal equipment manufacture)or I have found another full set for $45. Has anyone had any experience with replacing brakes with Sintered Metal Brake Pads. Yea they may be cheaper but will i be replacing them again in a year?
According to the manufacture of Sintered Metal Brake Pads- these brake pads are designed to withstand highly abrasive conditions. You will get Maximum performance along with great durability. They are perfect for all types of off-road riding. Sintered metal cuts through the film of water that forms on brake disks in wet conditions for exceptional wet weather performance and will perform with little or no brake fade.

Nice place but as stated very rocky and extreme trails are more work than fun, winching, on/off bike etc.. It was enjoyable watching the rock crawling vehicles also.

I have a 2001 Polaris with 5000+ miles on it and it needs a new drive clutch. Does anyone now were there is a bone yard or a good place for used parts vs. paying top dollar for a new one.

To answer the why is because, at times we/I have ridden 40-50 miles a day and not having to worry about carrying extra gas is a plus. I noticed that some of the manufactures are turning out smaller tanks and with the newer machines being EFI, not sure if that’s better gas economy or not. (of course a lot is how the machine is driven and riding conditions) There has been 3-4 times I have returned to the trailer with the gas gauge blinking, as accurate as they are. I currently have a sportsman 600 and enjoy the challenges of mud holes and charting new legal paths. Also I make 1-2 trips a year out of state and this year at Coal Creek I ran dry at 59 miles, mostly of hard packed ground. If I knew I could do this many miles every time gas economy would not be a concern, but in Florida sugar sand, mud, etc.. I normally get about 12 miles a gallon. This is just something I was curious about more than a serious concern. Just for the record I have out gassed a Kawasaki, but been pushed by a Honda.
Rico- just going out on limb, you must have been a straight A student. Thank you for your time and effort.

We found him on Lake Dexter as a puppy, then we named him Dexter. He enjoys begging, truck rides and sniffing mail boxes etc... He has a cat also, Snicker's.

My father and my wives brother traveled ~12 hours in each direction to get there just so we could ride for four days. We stayed at a local hotel and had a 20-minute commute to the trailhead. Most trails are marked easy, moderate, difficult or extreme and we rode 160 miles in the four days with 60 of those coming in one day. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to plan an ATV trip.
