My rear brake pads are wearing out like 4x faster that the fronts. Is this normal for these quads???

yes they are supposed to wear faster, dont know why, but they are, and yea, if you use the back brake more than the fronts, there is another reason, I have had mine for a little more than 2 years, and i have had the change my rears twice, and i barely ever use them, and i havent changed my fronts at all!:huh

yeah, the rear will wear a lot faster than the fronts because it is more open to the dust/dirt/mud that causes most of the wear, and because u only have one set of pads trying to slow/stop two wheels where as the fronts have brakes for both wheels and will not get as much wear/abuse.
