it also could be that the axle bearings are out causing the pads and the rotor to hit at different angles so check and see if the axle has any play in it while your checking the back brakes.

Once mine did that and I had a pebble stuck inside the caliper that was scratching the brake rotor

Sounds to me like your brake is rubbing to rotor, or your bearing is bad. Ride for like 5 minutes and then put your hand on the barring carrier. See how hot it is.

if it has any play in it, it will move up and down prolly. just put the quad on something where the back wheels will be off the ground. grab the axle and see if it moves at all, if it moves, it prolly needs bearings.
