My brakes squeak, if the rear brakes on the Raptor are the one's squeaking then its because the rotor is not drilled do they have no way of dissipating heat and they become warped, they can either ignore the noise, or buy new rotors that are cross-drilled, rotor's don't cost that much do they?

Yeah - the rear rotors warp quick on the Raptors (at least it did on mine) - stock rotor isn't too expensive, though. Those wave rotors are cool!

My gasgas has brembo's supposed to be some of the best brakes in the world, f1, nascar, ducatti, and some other huge names use them, well i am waiting on new brake pads as we speak, apparently nissin knows something about brakes that brembo dosent, its funny however you crack on yamaha's brakes, as they use nissin, the same brand as the 400ex, and many of the parts will exchange internally, so why must you crack on yamaha's? wtf cares if brakes squeek as long as they work, honda has actually ventured off into some alternate (cheaper) brake companies, while yamaha uses nissin on every atv from blaster on up that has discs.

brembos are very nice, especially those twin piston stoppers you got!

yea brad, my point in the matter was no matter what you cant blame the atv manufacturer for things like squeeky brakes LOL.. that just ridiculous, in my opinion all bike could stand a brake upgrade, look at 250rs almost 2 decade old system that stands superior to most every brake setup that exists today.
