Brake pads sintered or carbon

[Earthmover]

Yeah! so I'm just looking at new brake pads, not that I need them yet but could you's tell me the pros & cons of sintered or carbon brake pads or even Asbestose? if you can still get them. I know here in Australia we can't get them any longer. What are you blokes using? I'm still using the first original set of pads in both the Honda Rincon & in the Suzuki Ozark. Our CF Moto 500A went down to metal and stuffed the front disks in just 100kms what's that about 60miles or so?

i use streamline brake pads for my raptor. they are sintered. i havn t had any problems with them yet. i ve had the same pads on the front for two years now and they still are at about half. where i get my parts from didn t have rear streamline pads right now so i had to get galfer pads . i let you know how they work out.

I use EBC sintered on my ex. They grab hard even when in water but seem to wear a little to fast for me

I had trouble with my back brakes i kept going through them quick. found out my parking brake was froze up. so now i don t have a parking brake but my back brakes don t wear out as fast

here are some pics of the brakes from the CF Moto 500A after only 100 kms.

does it still have the parking brake hooked up because i had the same promlem and found that it was froze up and had to remove it.

the park brake works on a separate system

Most atvs have a parking brake delete mod because the park brake sometimes doesnt release fully and causes drag. Even though the service brake and park brake are to different systems they both use the rear caliper to hold the atv in place.

On this particular Quad it uses the same rotor positioned on the tailshaft but the brake and park brake use different calipers. The park brake caliper is activated by a cable when the Quad is placed in the park position but in any case those pads & the rotor shown are from the front of the ATV.

But with that aside I'm lead to believe that the carbon pads wear out quicker is that so? And can you blokes get asbestos brake pads in the US.

nothing asbestos anymore for quite a few years ....

I run sintered in heavy mud and sand conditions. The do have to be changed out quite frequently but I think they last longer than OEM brake pads.
