M_Quick Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I recently had my Honda Trx700xx apart this spring. So while it was apart I changed the rear pads. The OEM pads still had like 1/3rd to 1/2 the life left on them after 2 1/2 years of riding. The fronts went out after 2 years. So I order'd a complete set of eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-FR-R-Brake-Disc-Pads-TRX-700-XX-08-13-2008-2009-2010-2011-2012-2013-ATV-/230852769478?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35bfe5b6c6&vxp=mtr I figured this way i would have the fronts when i needed them in another season or two. Well after just 2 1/2 short months of riding the occasional 2-3 times per month, my rear pads were GONE! So I re-installed the OEM's till I can order a decent set. Please let me know a decent brand for a good price. I know the Sumo's are cheap, but they were not the cheapest on eBay by far. I seen a full set on there for $13.99 and up to $68 for just fronts! Here's a picture of the pads, the Sumo's after 2 1/2 months are on the left, the original OEM's after 2 1/2 yrs of use are on the right. .

Tonik Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I've never had any luck with non oem pads. I never buy them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 stick to name brand aftermarket and you'll be fine. EBC, Vesrah (if you cant find vesrah pads you must have a odd ride) ferodo, DP (off road leader), etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
