Yea, what MWKE said. Just take the mount bolt out and put a little grease in the shock eye, and put it back together. The same thing can happen with the steering stem mount.

WHERE is the Squeeking coming From???? Front, Rear,, All Around??? How about your Swingarm Bolt....Did you pull that and Check your Bearings???? Grease them??? If Grease doesnt help them then I would say order some New Bushings and it wouldnt hurt to order new Swinger Bearings if your going to go as far as Removing the bolt.. Other than that I dont know what to tell ya..:P When you do all this,,,,Just be sure to hold your Tongue Right and everything should be fine.....This maneuver usually helps mebiggrin

      Bombardier Quest 650 Shocks

      Can’t for the life of me find replacement shocks for this thing!
      One of my front shocks went out and I’m running around in circles trying to come up with a replacement after my JB weld fix broke for good.
      I’ve seen other forums talk about jerryrigging snowmobile shocks to fit, and I myself just purchased 70$ shocks off Amazon from China that seem to fit the measurements, but is there really no other option?

      1996 Yamaha Timberwolf 4x4 Struts and Shocks
      By McG75
      Hello I’m new here and was wondering is anyone knew of good replacement part numbers for front struts and rear shocks for this atv? I think I’ve found a new rear shock, that looks like the original but there is no dimensions or anything and was wondering if there are any afterMarket new front struts available. I know it’s a long shot but any help would be appreciated.

      replacement shocks for old yammies off amazon
      By VikingTrad3r
      anyone have experience with this?
      ive got a few 250 timberwolves, 2 moto4 250’s, one moto4 350. 
      planning on picking up a late 80’s or early 90’s big bear. ive found they are cheap, and bombproof. 
       
      but im looking for rear shocks for my 86 yfm250 moto4 and want to keep my input cost as low as possible. there is zero damping effect left from the originals and when i searched “yfm250 yamaha rear shock” i found a few generic “universal” shocks and wanted to ask here if others have had success. 
       
      cheers. vt

      2001 Mojave 250 will please will someone help me
      By Jaiidutch
      ok so ill try and make this as short as i can i really hope someone here can help me figure this out...
      bought a 2001 Mojave 250 from some one not running.. was running till ??somthing?? happend. was told before it stopped running it had a timing chain slap sound so the chain was replaced.
      got the quad home and did a compression test results were 0psi...lol decided to break the engine down n see whats going on. found a brand new timing chain installed and yet 2 valves pushed into the head..so i ordered a top end gasket set and all new valves and lapped them in. while the head was off i did a broke man leak down and filled the cylinder with thin oil and let it sit for a few days and none of it leaked so i assume the rings are good. reinstalled the head with new head gasket and valves. re did a compression test and I'm seeing 80psi(i don't really trust my cheap tester). I kick start the quad over and it will run for about 10 seconds and then die. I'm getting good blue spark. cleaned the carb and tried again... i can kick 10 times and it will only start for 10 seconds or so. swapped my carb, throttle cable & thumb throttle from my 87 Honda 250x to the Mojave and same result 10 seconds... had a friend bring over a known good working Mojave carb and you guessed it same results 10 seconds. even swapped to a back up stator that i have and same thing... what in the world is going on! i dont know what els to try
