ATV Brake Pads and Shoes for Honda FourTrax 250

The Honda FourTrax 250 ATV can be used for recreational use, to travel on off-roads or in the snow, to hitch and pull heavy items, and for many other reasons. The brakes are arguably one of the most important safety features on the ATV and must be maintained well for safe riding. There are different parts that make up the braking system on any motorized vehicle.

What do the pads and shoes do?

There is a whole system put in place to make sure that a driver is able to slow down and come to a complete stop on any moving vehicle. The pads and shoes are just two aspects of the process, but are both equally as important as the others.

  • Pads consist of a backing plate made of steel that is attached to the caliper. There is a cushion used to cause friction, usually made from a semi-metallic, organic, or ceramic material that is placed on its surface. That material faces the rotor and rubs against it to cause the friction.
  • Shoes carry the brakes lining. During braking, the shoe moves and presses the lining against the inside of the drum. They are commonly made from steel, brass, or copper.
When should the pads and shoes be replaced?

Driving the FourTrax with worn brakes will result in the ATV not braking safely. This can result in physical harm, so maintaining and replacing the components when necessary is a crucial aspect of the upkeep of any vehicle. If even one piece of the process isnt in good working condition, it can be hazardous to the rider or those around them. This can also cause additional damage to other pieces of the system.

  • The pads need to be thick enough to function properly within the system. When they are less than 1/4 of an inch thick, they need to be replaced.
  • If the vehicle makes noise or the ATV shakes or vibrates when trying to stop, the shoes might need to be replaced.
How long should the pads and shoes last?

Shoes are designed to last for 35,000 miles and pads for about 50,000 on the FourTrax. This is not an exact declaration, as there are different factors that will affect the lifespan of each. The manner in which the rider drives the ATV, the maintenance of the other parts that touch the pads and shoes, and other circumstances will change how long the parts will function effectively.
