Does that mean you are required by ordinance to carry shovel and axe on a sxs when riding there? State land?
Anytime you are on US Forest Service and BLM land in our area you are required to carry a shovel, fire extinguisher, collapsible bucket, and ax whenever you are on their property. Also several timber producers who own their own land require it.

Finished full brake pad replacement, just in time to go see Aquaman movie (amazing). Will make new post with step by step pics tomorrow. Fronts worn, rears only slightly worn? Based ln what saw, would only do rear effort for every two cycles of front pads.

Thinking could only change out rear pads only at 2nd round of replacing the fronts? Fronts took 5 minutes, rears took hours as I stumbled thru it, removing skid plates, tight access, things falling out. LOL.

Lack of rear wear has me wondering if the caliper is not working good. Being hydraulic and a good peddle feel, is the rear claliper rotation for a tighter clearance needed using tool, or do they just self adjust with pedal pressure?

My P1 doesn't have brakes, or is that what the pedal to the left of the gas pedal is, HA!

Back last winter when the site got slow, I would go to the 500 site and say a couple derogatory remarks about the 500, boy would that liven things up! HA! Y'all would come at me like ants pouring out of an ant hill! HA! I quit, because I was afraid some of the 500 owners were taking me seriously! You guy's are easy to stir up, HA!

I mean it’s a good idea, don’t know why the same USFS doesn’t require it in other states, shrug?
