I have an 07 Arctic Cat 650 H1 with little more then 500 miles on it. The brake pads are already worn out. All the pads are evenly worn, front and rear. So that leads me to believe there is no caliper hanging up or anything. The brakes done SEEM to drag or anything either. None of the guys I ride with have had to do brakes on their machines (not arctic cats either), and they have had theirs for lots longer.
Now I realize that I run in a lot of sand and mud, and I am an aggressive rider. So these things would tend to wear the pads faster then usual, but it seems like 500 miles would be a bit premature.
Any thoughts? Anyone have an Arctic cat and have this issue?

Polaris ATVs built until early or mid 01 had soft linings on their brake pads. They then switched to a heavy duty variety that will normally run well over 2500 miles of average riding. Your description sounds very similar to those early days. I used to ride in the mud and sand a lot and let me tell you, that stuff eats brake pads up fast. Check with your dealer if AC offers a heavy duty replacement and give that a whirl.
