so, last night while riding i heard a squeak everytime i hit a bump... and it didnt have to be a big bump at all. it sounds like its coming from a rear shock, but when i have it parked and push down on the bike i dont hear the squeak. anyone had this problem or know what it could be?

put grease on everything that moves

ex. everywhere the shocks connect up, put it in the gaps of the swingarm...ride it a bit to work it in and see if it keeps squeking

How about the seat? My seat latch was causing a squeak everytime I sat down on it.Greased it up and it went away.

hey

I had an 04 rancher 350 , did the same thing... water in the shock bushings, I sprayed the shock mount area's with lithium grease. After about 15 min of driving the grease worked in and never heard it again.(traded the bike in 2 years later)

where is the bushing? i'll prolly get underneath the bike and grease everything.

Yea I had the same issue, turned out to be the rods under the foot pegs.

wow really? i would have never though the footpegs would squeak like that.
before my next ride im going to grease everything
