The Yamaha drive does not have a conventional brake system, it has an enclosed system that is combined with the differential and is floating in fluid. It is more like a clutch in an automatic transmission than a dry friction brake system you would be use to seeing at each rear wheel.
I doubt if the brake system is grinding and I would go toward the area of a wheel bearing at fault.
