Has anyone encountered an irritating squeeking noise coming out of the strut area on their 650's? I've only had mine for a week (30 miles on it) and there's a squeek coming out of the front end (left side facing). Could something need to be greased aleady?

Thaks.

Mine squeeks too when I push down on the front. But I don't notice it at all when I'm riding it.

When do you get the squeak? When the quad is moving or still?

When it's moving, 10MPH or less. I don't hear it at all at faster speeds.

Its those stupid shock guards that they put on to protect the front shocks from mud. If you get rid of them it will fix the squeek. I would suggest some nylon shock covers in their place because although they were sort of a good idea they squeek and also wear out the springs.

Any recommendations where I can purchase nylon shock covers for the 650? Dennis Kirk?

Thanks.
