As you can read below I resantly got an 05' TRX 250 EX.. Haven't had any problems with it.. but the front sounds like im getting happy on an old spring bed. I was wondering is this normal??? I can't just turn the radio up and drown it out.... lol

 

yea when i first got my 250ex the front and sometimes the rear was always squeaky . so what i did was just sparyed wd-40 on it ever time i rode and after i washed it and that worked for me.

 

thnx i thought my shocks were like duds or sumthing.

 

i dont know if its the same for the 250 but i take off my shocks after every trip out to clean and regrease them. no squeeks for me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Yeah most quads start squeakin after a while. If your mehcanicly able best thing to do is get some bellray waterproof grease(found at most places dirtbike and atv parts are sold) . Take off your a arms and front shocks. and lube up the bushings and bolts. and put it all back together. u could do this with the rear shock as well. This way it should not squeak for a long time. Or u could jsut go the quick and easy route and jsut get bellray 6in1 lube or wd40 and spray all your bushings down good.

 

The squeak culprit is probably the lower front shock mount bushings. I haven't had much luck just spraying them externally. Elevate the front end (it's a bit easier if you remove the wheels but you don't have to). Remove the lower front shock mount bolt and nut, wiggle the bottem of the shock out enough to clear. Remove and grease the steel bushing in the lower shock mount, reassemble.

 

hey thanx for all the replies ill try them if i have any more squeeking. But, i did the wd-40 thing and it works fine now. One of my friends uses that belray stuff it seams to work for him so if i starts back ill try that thnx again.

 

you need to put some lithium grease in those bushings... squeking=wear
