Brake Pads

[GreatAim]

The brake pads on my 400 are worn down. How would I put on new ones? How do you take it apart to put them on? Right now I think it is just the rotor rubbing on the shoes. The machine wont roll, it just makes a scratching noise. Any help would be appreciated.

i just bought new pads and put them on, havent rode it yet do to bad weather. The old ones were shot. just pieces of scratched up metal.

:devil That's sucks!

sparkles too lazy to put those pads in yourself?
i just put new ones on my 300ex
its pretty easy

The rears are simple to replace
take the 2 12mm bolts out that hold the caliper on
remove the 2 bolts that go through the pads
pads should come out
when re installing push the piston back in
& back off your parking brake.

ANd while you're at it, buy the block off plate and eliminate the parking brake. Your brake pads will last longer.

:confused: I just bought a 2002 Honda 400ex, and I had already replaced the rear brake pads. I was wondering if there is some brake pads that are around the same price as the Honda ones but last longer. I ride a lot of mud and dirt. I live in Canda and they were $70. Please tell me some companies, websites, etc. Thanks.

I like the way DP brand pads wear, but the stock pads last pretty well too. A lot of the cheaper pads won't last as long. Check and see if you're a victim of the E-brake dragging, that will wipe out pads in no time.
