Disk Breaks

So like everyone else my break pads don’t last worth a crap. I was looking at the pads on my quad and noticed little chips on both sides. I got to thinking and decided that small rocks and sand must be getting stuck in the holes in the disk. Ones the rocks are in the disk they get dragged into the break pad tearing away at it.
Now if we had disks that were just smooth or at least only grooved these rocks couldn’t get in and damage the pad.

Can someone explain the flaws in my idea here. I can’t see what’s wrong with it but I can’t find smooth or grooved disks anywhere. Everything I find is holed or slotted.

Got a sweet deal!!

Hi All

I recently bought a 2003 Sportsman 700 Twin with only 1440 miles on it. I have some concerns about it as it seems to have no rear brakes and the engine seems to overheat and lose power without any warning lights.

Generally it needs a little TLC, but even if I have to do a head gasket I still got it for a deal!

Anyways, that’s my bike….

I’m looking forward to having some good conversations in the forums!!

How to make a 420 fast?

Hi I have a 420 I I I was it to be faster than a grizzly 660 and a Polaris ranger on 29.5. My Honda 420 is 100 percent stock and I will be getting tires later on but I want to know how I could make if faster? How about a clutch kit? Also itis a 2016.

Thanks for all the help

Wes Classic Econo seat

Hopefully you guys will forgive me for posting a pic of my Can Am, but I ordered a Wes Classic Econo rear seat/storage box and installed it after getting it in today.

I bought it for what I thought was a good price and decided to do 1 day shipping so I would have it by tomorrow to have for a trail ride. However, I found out today the damn trails will be closed Saturday due to some storms we’ve had here in Virginia and will reopen Sunday. So I don’t know if I’ll get to go riding this weekend or not.

I took my 8 year old out on it this afternoon, and he loved it. We went in our woods, and I’ve never heard him giggling and cackling so much while riding. It’s so much better not having arms wrapped around your waist or having someone sitting in front of you.
