Brake System Break-in

Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and rotors.

Perform the following steps on a new vehicle or anytime brake pads are replaced on the vehicle:

  1. In an appropriate riding area, safely slow the vehicle with moderate (70%) braking from 30 mph (50 kph) down to 5 mph (8 kph). Do not stop completely in order to keep air flowing through the brakes.

  2. Repeat for 10-20 cycles and let the brakes cool between each cycle by riding your vehicle approximately 0.25 mi (400 m).

  3. After you have completed all 20 cycles, ride the ATV for awhile to cool the braking system to avoid overheating the brakes.

  4. Stop the vehicle and put the transmission in PARK. DO NOT apply the parking brake until the brake system has fully cooled.
