I just wash em out with water,it works for awhile.
The dunes eat the back one up so fast I cant afford to replace em every time they squeak.

Hey fellow West Virginian. I'm not sure if your 660R has drums or disc. I remember when I rode dirt bikes we would take a saw and cut grooves across the shoes (drums of course) on an angle that would keep them from squealing. I'm not sure if this would work on disc pads or not. The theory is the grooves make a place for dirt to go and being on and angle helps carry it away as you use your brakes. Just a thought, I haven't done this for years as I sold the old CR years ago, got married, had children, and just recently got my new ride.
