Default Insane Squeaking front shock/bf 650i

My '06 650i is almost a year old, in about 21 days I'll have had 'er for a year [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. At 1,275 miles my right front shock has developed an immensely annoying squeak. I know it's the shock, i put my hand on the coil spring and compressed the suspension a few inches, and could feel the squeak vibrations in the coil spring. I then put a little filter oil around the coil just to see if it temporarily stopped, to veryify what i thought. But to no avail it would steal make the dry, annoying squeak when the suspension is compressed. If anyone else has experienced this and found an easy rememdy let me know please. lol -joe

I have a BF 650 and seem to have the same squeak. I don't notice it much on the trails, but I do notice it getting on and off the machine or when I have a load on the front rack.

It could be the shock or it could be your a-arm bushings. More than likely its your shocks. PM me for more information.
