Default How do I fix a suspention squeek?

I have an 04 Foreman 450 that has seen very light use. The suspention developed a squeek over the past few months and I wonder where I would lube the thing. I am unable to see where it exactrly comes from, but it does make noise when the suspention is compressed and the other way around. Do I have to take things apart or there is a place for oil or grease? It is much loudert in the front. If you can give me some pointers on the problem it would of great help.
thanks
Easy

If the spray doesnt do it. Disassemble the lower bolt, on the front shocks. Pull out the bolt, and lube the bushing and bolt, with silicone grease, and put it back together. That should last for a year or two.

Congratulations on the purchase of your honda! Take apart your entire atv's suspension and pack it with grease. "Grease guns aren't fair" -Mr. Honda
