Mine usually squeak after riding...its usually just dust on the shocks. So I just give it a high-pressure wash, and it goes away until the next ride.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Default raptor shock squeak?

the same exact thing has been haunting me all summer too and i just recently found out the culprit. thats wierd you asked just as i figured mine out..lol anyways....

i took my rear shock off and put a little bit of grease on the shock bolts, top and bottom and then put them back in and it hasnt done it since. i dont see why it wouldnt work for the front shocks, its the same thing. dont put alot on the bolt itself, just put a little bit, a light coat should do the trick. i dont know how long it is good for becuase like i said i just did it last month and it still hasnt squeeked once for me.. give it a whirl, it wont huirt anything. good luck!!!!!!

Try taking the mounting bolts out and lubbing them with grease. I did this on my rear one
