When I push my quad I can hear a little grinding sound coming from the back. Could it be a problem with the bearings or is it just sand between the brake pads and the disk.

lol any grinding noise cant be good.

put that thing up on a stand and spin the tires and check the rotor to see if its bent, also the skidplate could be rubbing on something too.

It gets a little rocky in the places I ride and i once bent the hell out of mine cuz i just run a stock skidplate.

You may be hearing the brake pads dragging on the rotor, but if it is a true grinding noise it is probably your rear axle bearings about to go.
