Burnishing Brake Pads

Brake pads must be burnished to achieve full braking
effectiveness. Braking distance will be extended until
brake pads are properly burnished. To properly burnish
the brake pads, use the following procedure.
! WARNING
Failure to properly burnish the brake pads could lead to
premature brake pad wear or brake loss. Brake loss can
result in severe injury.
1. Choose an area large enough to safely accelerate the
ATV to 30 mph and to brake to a stop.
2. Accelerate to 30 mph; then compress brake levers or
brake pedal to decelerate to 0-5 mph.
3. Repeat procedure on each brake system twenty
times.
4. Verify the brakelights illuminate when the hand lever
is compressed or the brake pedal is depressed.
