Description
Pad Purpose:
- The purpose of any brake pad is to push or squeeze against the brake drum or disc to slow it down. Softer brake pads "bite" into the rotor and stop better but tend to wear out faster.
Stopping Power:
- The stopping power of ceramic and metallic pads varies by temperature. Ceramic pads tend to stop better when very hot and metallic operate better in the cooler range.
Fade Resistance:
- A ceramic pad's strongest point is its ability to resist "brake fade", or the tendency to lose performance during repeated use and subsequent heating.
Wear:
- Though both pads tend to wear at similar rates, the ceramic's softer material surface helps prevent damage to metal rotors.
Noise and Dust:
- Ceramic pads vibrate at a higher frequency than the human ear can detect, and thus appear quieter in operation than metallic. Also, ceramic pads don't cause the black "brake dust" deposits like metallic pads.

Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Panther 340 Snowmobile (1970-2000)
The Arctic Cat Panther 340, produced from 1970 to at least 2000, was an iconic model known for its comfort. It was often dubbed the "Cadillac of snowmobiles." The "340" in its name consistently refers to an engine displacement of approximately 339cc or 340cc. This model enjoyed a long production run, featuring various engine configurations and design evolutions. In the early 1970s, Arctic Cat transitioned from multiple engine suppliers (JLO, Sachs, Hirth) to primarily Kawasaki engines. "Trims" were often defined by the engine manufacturer, such as the Panther JLO 340 or Panther Kawasaki 340. In 1973, new sound regulations led to the adoption of fully enclosed hoods with sound-deadening foam. The Panther EXT 340 was a racing-focused variant, while the Panther VIP, a luxury model introduced in 1973, used a 440cc Kawasaki engine and was therefore not a 340cc model. A broader shift in engine suppliers (Kawasaki to Suzuki) was observed on the Pantera model in 1976, suggesting a general trend for Arctic Cat.

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Oil Filter (Engine Oil) | Not applicable | Panther 340 models from this era typically use a 2-stroke engine. They do not have a conventional engine oil filter. Lubrication is provided by oil mixed with fuel or an oil injection system. |
| Drive Belt | Inspect regularly | Inspect the CVT belt every 100 hours for wear or damage. Replace immediately if any issues are found. Lifespan can range from 2,400 km to 4,800 km. |
| Spark Plug | Inspect regularly | Inspect every 100 hours or 6,400 km or 12 months. Replace if necessary. |
| Air Filter | Inspect every 10 hours | For carbureted models, check if equipped. Clean or replace if light does not pass through the filter element. |
| Coolant | Check before every ride; Change every 200 hours or 2 years | Applicable only if the model is liquid-cooled (many older 340s were fan-cooled). Maintaining proper levels is crucial to prevent overheating. |
Maintenance intervals may vary by model year and engine type. It is highly recommended to consult the owner's manual specific to your model.
