Every time I ride there is a squeaking in the front end. I just cant seem to pinpoint where its coming from. Anyone else had this problem ? Thanks, D

 

When does it squeak moving( forward )over( bumps )or when (turning bars )?
///// ////////////////////////////////////(brakes)------ (suspension)------(Steering stem)
////////////////////////////////////////// (Strip)-------- (Grease) ----------- (Penatrating oil )

 

The squeaking noise that I had on both 01 and my 04x was the scew and washer catches for the front of the seat, where it slides in thouse brackets on the frame.I installed a few of those plastic wier ties around the scwew between the seat and washer.Does that mack sence?

 

I dont think its the seat bolts but I will take what you said and try putting a zip ties on my bolts. It sounds more like its squeaking from the front end. Maybe from the suspension. It does it while moving over bumps and the terrain. Thanks, D

 

If you think its the suspension see if you can push up and down on it or better still get afriend to do it you might be able to pin point it.
I take it you have already greased all the pivots and balll joints

 

That's exactly where it was coming from for me on my 05. I suspect that this (the seat bolts) is also your situation.

have you tried lubing the front end? a-arm bushings and balljoint ends.

 

My left front brake squeaks once in a while. Jack up the front-end and spin the wheels to see if your brake pads are rubbing. I haven't found a way to really fix mine yet.

 

i had the same squeak, it was in my suspention...make sure u grease all the zerks on the front and the back around the swing-arm.....

 

Thanks for all the input guys. The front end is greased and I will try to do something with the seat bolts. When I find out what it is I will let you all know the outcome. D
