Brake Pad Basics

Disc brake systems are light weight, low maintenance, and perform well in the conditions ATVs routinely en-
counter. There are a few things to remember when replacing disc brake pads or performing brake system ser-
vice to ensure proper system function and maximum pad service life.
S Optional pads are available to suit conditions in your area. Select a pad to fit riding style and environment.
S Do not over-fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
S Make sure the brake lever and pedal returns freely and completely.
S Adjust stop pin on front caliper after pad service.
S Check and adjust master cylinder reservoir fluid level after pad service.
S Make sure atmospheric vent on reservoir is unobstructed.
S Adjust auxiliary brake after pad service.
S Test for brake drag after any brake system service and investigate cause if brake drag is evident.
S Make sure caliper moves freely on guide pins (where applicable).
S Inspect caliper piston seals for foreing material that could prevent caliper pistons from returning freely.
S Perform a brake burnishing procedure after installing new pads to maximize service life.
