Brake pads don't last

[Bunkmd]

I need brake pads every couple of months(09 450 wolverine). I do ride through a lot of mudd but its a little ridiculous. I guess its the nature of disc brakes in mudd. What are the longest lasting brake pads? I would rather have drums. My other bike(02 Honda recon) has drums and I never have problems. Does somebody make a conversion?

You dont want drums, trust me. Obviously there is something wrong that is causing them to wear fast.

Did you check the rotor? Is it warped or gouged?

EBC brake pads

Ive always had problems with my brake pads. Even ebc didnt last.

Are the brakes dragging at all and is it the front s ,rear ,both?

Sorry I did not reply back sooner. I'm trying the severe duty EBC brakes when this extra set wears down. The brakes are not dragging and the rotors seem to be ok. I'm no machanic by any means. I ride with a guy that has a 350 wolverine and he burns through pads also. I have been using the cheap to mid priced pads but I'm going to break down and buy the pricier ones next time.

I use the ebc severe duty pads now because I was sick of the real cheap ones, I find they last a lot longer.

The rear brakes on quads usually don't last very long anyways. Everyone I know replaces their rear pads much more often than fronts. You have to think that there are 2 calipers up front and only 1 in the rear so it takes more of a beating.
