I did a search but didn't come up with any answers. I was riding Friday and while riding my suspension started squeaking. My question is what kind of maintenance should I be doing on my suspension? It's all stock. I grease the fittings up front, is there any more to it than that? And what should I be doing for the rear? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Thats what you need to do. Get the old graes gun out and get after it.

More often than not this will cure your issues, but if its very bad then I would take the arms and swing arms off and clean & re lube them by hand.

 

There is also a grease fitting on the front top of the swingarm (hard to see unless you look for it). Mine was squeaking too until I found that fitting and greased it.

 

Thanks!!

 

I have found on the rear that sometimes my shock bushings are what are squeaking. If you spray it with a dry lube around the bushings it will stop the noise for awhile. Even better pull the bolts and coat them with a synthetic grease and reinstall.

 

wasnt there a write up a while back about brp lowering the torque on the rear shock mounts cause they were squeaking? im not sure how low but i do know they changed the torque maybe someone can chim in and do tell

 

Yeah, that top rear shock mount always squeaks. I take my bolt out every 3rd or 4th ride and grease it up.
