Default Brand new 2013 sportsman 500 h.o. Squeaking

Hey guys i just got a brand new 2013 sportsman 500 h.o. and after one ride it already squeaks when I hit bumps or push down on the front and rear end. It's not annoying but it sounds like trash. Could it be that since its so new that everything's so tight? What could I do to stop this?

I would bet that the factory did not grease the front or rear a arms fitting. If I was you I would buy a grease gun and get a tube of Polaris grease. The raise I say Polaris grease is it made for atv and it is water proof. If after you do that and it still squeaks then a least you know you fitting have grease I tell you this because I bought 2013 850 and when I was looking at the fitting looked like it had no grease. I'm car mechanic and years ago GM had that problem at the factory they forget to grease there fitting and we were replace front suspension parts on new cars with less three thousand miles. So know on all my stuff new I check for fitting and if there their I grease my self. Just a insurance policy for me don't what my new stuff to be replace because of lazy *** people just my two cents.
