the ride was great it had plenty of power we rode in 6-8 of snow on powerlines about 2 hours into the ride i noticed the suspension starting to sqeek as the day went on it became very noticiable my friends i was riding with could hear it now when i sit down i hear the sqeeking i hope it just needs to be broken in

 

I just got back from a ride out in the snow. It was a very nice day. Right around freezing and about 40 miles of driving. Ahhhhhh! Glad to hear you had a good ride. Try pressing on the back and see if the shocks are squeaking. Or, is it sqeaking when rolling?

 

I have found that when i ride in the snow my machine squeaks a little to it is a 07 KQ 450 with 300 miles might just be the snow?

 

yep it sqeeks when pressing down on the rear and front i also noticed the shocks seem to have setteld if i pull up on the front it raises up and stays there

 

That's the way the A arm suspension works.

As for the squeak, you could try greasing it, but it should go away with more miles. I have almost 200 miles on mine. Haven't had a squeak since the 50 mile mark.

 

yea that is what thought i only have 45 miles on so far one thing i do know is these stock tires realy bite the big one in the snow i think my first order of buisnes is some new tires at least on the rear

 

Please keep us posted on the squeak.

IMO...might want to make an appointment to take it in for warranty work. As Roofer mentioned it just might need to be greased, but let the dealer do it...so at least there is a record on file of the problem.

Good luck...
