Squeeky Shocks

[Guest Fox300exchic]

Can someone tell me why my shocks are squeeking and what to do about it? I've cleaned them and it didnt do any good.

I think you will find that it isnt the Shock itself but the Rubber Bushings in the Shock Mounting points....Or,,,If it is Prevelent in the Rear of the Bike it could be your Swinger Bolt Bearings or the likes...Hope that Helps....

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.

We tried that too. Forgot to say that. Thanks. What next? lol

[mywifeknowseverythin]

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.. When you do all this,,,,Just be sure to hold your Tongue Right and everything should be fine.....This maneuver usually helps mebiggrin

It's the front. We did grease everything and it still squeaks.

Ok,,,,,

Did you happen to notice anything like this????

If so you need to get yourself Something like this.....

However,,,,Seeing that you are still experiencing this problem you might have something like this little Guy lurking.....If this is the Case I say you just might have to live with the Squeak.....
