Like previously said the brakes on most china bikes are rather ordinary
if its second hand the pads could be glazed (remove and scrub back on concrete)
Other then that it could be incorrect disk size causing poor pad coverage, info here will help you if that is the case

I replaced my pads with carbon or somesuch, cant even bloody remember... and it was ok, but not worth it IMO... just accept they have crap breaks and move on lol

Agreed Worm
I recently just changed my fronts to EBC Redstuff Carbon Graphite pads and barely noticed any difference, I don't think they should glaze or fade as quickly but not many dirt riders will manage to get brake fade on a pitbike anyway

The chinese back brakes are pretty good, but the front ones are shithouse.

My mate's no brand 125 pitbike had the best front brakes, pulled stoppies so easy. But my mso ones were pretty crap. I think some are lemons and some are decent.
since ive got my bike 2 full sets of complete rear brake setups have shat themselves they jsut stop wprking and will not bleed i dunno what happens but they are just shit house...
