Default 06 Wolverine problems

My rear brake has start to squeal alot. Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. If you hit the brakes hard it clears up for a little while. I've taken the tire off and had a look to see if any rock or sand was in there, there wasn't. Took it to the shop to have it looked at and they said it is common in Yamaha's and there wasn't a fix.
Thanks in advance.

If you read the reviews you would find out they all said the samething. The brakes squeeked and annoyed them a lot. I would say that it is a common problem. You can take the pads off and try some of that "brake quiet" its works great with cars so it should work on the small atv brakes.

Other than the rear brake squeek I'm very happy. I haven't heard anyone that has one talk bad about it yet. As far as performance goes I think it does really well. I have been in the dunes of LIttle Sahara Ok and the trails of Muenster Tx (damn tough technical trails). It hashandled it all with no problem. If you are looking for a speed demon, this ain't it. For a 4x4 it has a real sporty feel to it...

Mine also squeeked at first, but it has stopped now. I have no complaints about mine either.
