Brake pads not making full contact with rotor.
Anyone notice or have had this problem? Noticed other day my front driver rotor only had a 3/4 inch clean spot in center of rotor. Meaning the pads are not making full contact. So I took tire off removed pads and pads had same smooth spot. Other areas where rough. Back side of rotor was similar but different pattern it has two smooth spots. So I buffed off the rotor smooth and lightly cleaned pads with wire wheel. Put back went ride and it seems to be making contact same way. I even rode the brakes to try and smooth them out.
The brakes work fine. Doesn't pull when braking like the right side would be biting harder which is making full comtact on both side of rotor by the way.
I'm stumped haven't seen this before on any automobiles I've worked on. My first atv so im new to working on them. Looks to me like pads are not wearing right. Thought about tring a new set.
