There are several things you can do to reduce or eliminate the noise but I have found this, coupled with quiet pads, to be the best approach. At 21K Km's you probably don't need new rear pads but if you go to the trouble of taking them off I would recommend putting new ones on.
Many have had very good luck with CRC Disk Brake Quiet. These are not Spyder pads but you get the idea. I recommend using CRC with all new pads. If you use the correct pads it is very likely that you will not need CRC. But you won't know for sure until you use them. It is so much easier to just put CRC on the pads at assembly and never have a problem.

Don't know..!!
if they have found a solution. But outside of changing the discs and pads to a different material, no. You can clean the discs check the pins for notching and as mentioned apply a drag on the brakes while backing up...sorry..!!

It's EXTREMELY embarassing when ryding with a bunch of Harley guys. They look at me like WHERE DID YOU GET THAT THING!!!. Hate that part of the spyder.

I know the feeling. Working through same problem now. Have had some suggestions from great folks here. 1. clean brakes and check for dust and debris on pad and disk. 2. grease belt according to resent service bulletin and check alignment of belt and rear wheel. Just called my dealership and am setting up appointment to see if any of there suggestions work in my situation.

Mine squeals like a pig. My brother's does not.
Very embarrassing. I'd have thought BRP would have that sorted by now.

try this
only try this in a safe area. We have a long driveway, so I can do it before I go riding for the day. drive forward (or reverse) fairly quickly and slam on the brakes. Repeat 3 to 4 times. This usually stops the squeal for me. Not always, though if I do it 2 days in a row, it nearly always works. I notice mine usually only squeals after the wheels/brakes have gotten wet and dried. So I expect it on the day after riding in the rain or after it's been washed.

I never had squealing brakes until I recently changed to the new high performance pads I brought from Baja Ron. The old pads had anti rattle clips that came with the bike from the factory but the new pads are too thick so after consulting with Ron I left them off and put the CRC on the pads. Now it squeals like a banshee in both directions. I kept the clips so as soon as they wear down a bit I will put them back on. I am not sure what the CRC is suppose do but it did nothing on mine. I wonder if something was wrong with my bottle, it I left it for a hour before installing and the paste was still sloppy.

I am really surprised to hear this. Something is definitely different. You might try giving a light sanding to your rotors with some fine 300-400 grit emery sandpaper. Very strange that you would get noise from that setup.

Have you checked to see if they might just need to be replaced?
