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
Ski-Doo Formula 500 Snowmobile (1995-2001)
The Ski-Doo Formula 500 series, produced from 1995 to 2001, was a popular snowmobile known for its versatility and performance. Throughout its production, it featured various Rotax twin-cylinder engines, primarily around 500cc, including both fan-cooled (often 497cc or 503cc) and liquid-cooled (typically 499cc) configurations. Models like the Formula SL, SLS, and Deluxe trims offered different features and power outputs, with some liquid-cooled versions reaching around 80 hp. During its run, the Formula 500 saw significant variations in its platform. Early models like the 1995 Formula SL introduced a new long-travel rear suspension. The series also utilized different chassis, including the S-chassis and the more advanced S-2000 chassis, which brought improvements in aerodynamics and suspension, such as the SC-10 system. These changes, along with the continuous evolution of engine cooling methods and the introduction of "Deluxe" trims with added features like electric start and reverse, mean that specific components and performance characteristics can vary considerably across the 1995-2001 range.

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Oil (2-stroke injection oil) | Before every ride | Check level and keep reservoir full. Use high-quality 2-stroke injection oil (TC-W3 or manufacturer-specific). |
| Oil Filter | Not applicable | 2-stroke snowmobiles typically do not have a traditional engine oil filter. |
| Drive Belt | Before or after every ride, and every 2,400 to 4,800 km | Inspect for wear (teeth, cracks, fraying). Clean clutch periodically. |
| Spark Plug | As needed | Replace if misfires, rough idling, or loss of power occur. Always carry spare spark plugs. |
| Air Filter | Regular visual inspection | Most 2-stroke snowmobiles do not have a conventional paper air filter. Check for obstructions. |
| Coolant | Check regularly, replace every 2 years | For liquid-cooled models. |
The intervals provided are general guidelines. For precise, official service intervals, always consult the owner's manual specific to your Ski-Doo Formula 500 model year.
