Great to find this out after I bought it. I heard all good before. I guess I'll be selling this bike. Might have to check out a kawasaki mule pro fx.

Where did you hear all good? From Honda forums?
I've seen some claim different pads help with the noise, but I have my doubts. It's a consequence of having the brake disc on the rear driveshaft and sending all braking force through the differential, so anything with that setup will probably exhibit this to some degree.

Just do your research. We have a mule at work. I forget the model but it's not the pro. That thing sucks. Never has ran right since they bought it

Well I put ceramic rear brake pads on today that I bought on amazon. Then I test drove the bike and hit the brakes hard quite a few times. No more brake grinding!! I will be going to the mountains tomorrow to fully test them out. But it appears they will work fine. Hopefully this is the answer that alot of people need for this problem. It appears that the factory pads are sintered metal pads. I had some on another bike before and they squeaked like mad. Even did a pressure adjustment without help. I will report back with news about these new ceramic rear pads.

We went to the mountains today and drove the 2021 honda pioneer 700 around for almost 50 miles through rugid logging roads with tons of dust and very steep hill decent. The new Yoursme brand ceramic brake pads I installed on the rear did a wonderful job of braking and made absolutely no grinding, squeaks, or any noise all day. This definitely is the answer to rear brake grinding noise on the honda pioneer 700. It seems people have had this issue on the pioneer 700 for years. Honda should be spending a few more bucks and putting better brakes on at the factory. This is my first honda and they definitely didn't do a good job of impressing me with quality. The factory pads they installed are junk.
I bought these brake pads on amazon for front and back for $32. They are rated almost 5 stars. I hope this helps other frustrated people with the horrible brake grinding in the rear as seen on the YouTube prior on this thread.
Thank you

Mine was making a terrible chattering noise from rear diff while braking. I removed the rear caliper and cleaned out the mud that was causing inconsistant pressure from being applied to the brake pads and changed diff fluid to Amsoil 75w140 severe gear and the noise completely went away. If the rear brake pressure isn't being applied equally, because of dirt and mud build-up it causes the drive shaft to surge back and forth and make a horrible chattering noise like something terrible is wrong.

Are you responding to the OP or just resurrecting the old thread just cuz?
you didn't tag the OP, he's been MIA for 2 yrs after making this thread FYI
To elaborate on your post, the change in diff fluid makes a big difference in noise across the board in the Honda line up fo sho. Amsoil or any synthetic.
Guys have been doing and suggesting it here for years. Mud in calipers is also a big topic as well. Have to power wash them real good
