Ever since i've had my 350x i have always noticed a squeaking noise when i compress the back suspension. Could this be the swingarm bolt being too tight, or could it be something squeaking in the shock linkage? Its gettin really annoying and i can't seem to find what it is. Thx.

 

Have you tried greasing all the fittings on the rear linkage.

 

Are you sure the 350x has grease fittings?? Because i just looked the whole back end over and did not find a single one. Are they supposed to have them?

 

I am not sure about the X. I know my 85 R and my banshee have them.

 

i dont belive the x has any greese fittings.. jsut pull things apart and slap some greese on before you put it all back together. hopefully things arnt all stuck.

 

No they dont come with grease fitting in the swingarm. But if you take the swingarm off, you can put a grease fitting in the middle of the swingarm (where the bolt goes). The honda dealer did it for me when I had my bearings replaced. Good luck!!

 

it might be your top bolt that connects with your frame on your rear supension my 350x was making the same noise i removed the top bolt and i filled the bolt with grease around it and i swaped it back in and the noise stopped but dont tighten it too hard. do that i recommend you. it worked for me and if it still makes it do the same to the bottom ones.

peace...
