Some have asked how to fix brake squeal. I tried scuffing rotor and pads,coating they sell and even put race disc on. Squeal always came back eventually. This worked. Chamfer the edges.

As in sled:

Using grinder or even a file at about 45 deg angle:

Should look like this when done:

I am still looking for aftermarket pads and preferably ones that have a thin sheet metal shield between pad backing plate and the caliper Pistons. I have a deep groove from piston digging into the backing plate.
 
JB weld and .010 tool steel shim stock to the backing plate. the tool steel shim stock is hardened and should work fine. haven't tried this because my sled is new and I have never ridden it. hope the yamacat treats me well.
