I can't believe it

My pure polaris brake pads on my rzr are already wore out at 800 miles....the ones that came with the rzr lasted 1400 miles....how can this be....

That sux BUBBA...that is a 600 mile difference. Maybe since you switched to O'DOUL'S your not as brave and useing your brakes more... ....just kidding....Maybe PO-PO are getting their brake pads from a different source.

I think the drink cooler on the rzr is'nt getting unloaded as fast as back in the day. Hauling all that weight from the doul's is harder on your brakes.

Did you adjust your calipers when you installed your new pads? Just a thought. I have 2000+ miles on mine and have only replaced one pad(they'll run to nothing on thickness).

But, I've adjusted my calipers and rarely use the brakes.

Bubba you need to get your foot off the brake and on the gas.
leisurely strolls are meant for the Buick:lol!:

When you install your new pads loosen the caliper adjustment set screws 2-3 turns. After everything is back on the rotor, adjust the set screw in until the stationary pad touches the disc and back off 1/2 turn.

Bubba, that RZR is going to fly when the brakes don't drag anymore. Where's HRR? What happened to TBone? Bubba gonna want to race.

I HAVE ALMOST 2000 MILES ON MY FACTORY PADS AND THEY STILL LOOK GOOD DONT USE YOUR BRAKES AS MUCK WIDE OPEN THEN SLIDING = NO WEAR

I just put new pads on all four corners. I got 3857 miles on the stock pads,
but they were down to nothing. Needed to do it earlier, but the rotors still look
ok. I'm putting new a-arm bushings on all four corners too. Just more money.

All jokes aside, RayRay may be right. Any way you look at it, it's a fact that more alcohol = less brake use. I'm being serious. But, that does seem like alot less miles than the last set. It would take a hell of a bunch of beer to save that much brake pad.

Riding with Randy or Thunter saves more brake pad than any other method I've tried.

i speak from experience, if you hit a tree head on, no brakes needed. might try that ! lol.

With every brand making theirs faster every year, I just wonder what things will be like 3 to 5 years down the road...I just have a little ol' rzr and that's plenty of power in the woods.

We thought 300s had plenty of power when they came out

U dang right! U will know!

I've had three different Polaris' in the past. They all got really great brake wear. Mostly becasue they were broke down all the time.
