The front suspension on my scrammy is now making a squeeking noise whenever i hit a bump of any kind, or if I'm just rocking the bike. The performance hasn't changed, but the suspension sounds like a squeeky bed. Is there anything I can do about this other than take it to the dealer, or should I just ignore it and move on?

 

take some time and go over the whole machine and grease all the grease zerks. this should cure 99% of the suspension squeaks...

I was going to do that when I can get it in the garage to do so. The sound actually sounds like it's coming from the shock compressing and realising. If that could be anything different.

 

no its most likely coming from the a arms just pump grees in them untill it shoots out and even then keep on doing it untill you see clean greese not muddy crap. you could use a hand pumt type they make small ones or big ones or the type that needs an air compressor. you can get them at walmart home depot or sears.

 

Mine does the same thing. As far as I can tell, the squeek is coming from the top of the springs. If I spray grease in there, it cures the problem for a little while, until you go through your first mud hole.

 

mine will do that sometimes, i grease the actually shock bushings where the shock mounts to the swing arm and then to the frame and it fixes it for about 6 mounths then sometimes comes back. make sure you take the shock out, clean all the rust off of the metal bushing then put nice grease in it. i'm betting this will solve your problem. good luck.

 

wow i thought you said rear shock, well if your rear ever starts you will know what to fix, lol and for the front there is a bushing on the top of the strut that you can put some grease on but it requires you to take it all apart but thats prob is whats squeaking if you already greased the zerks. hope this helps

 

Yeah, it sounds like it's comming from the bushing. It warmed up here for few days, and the squeeking stopped, but then it started it again last night, after it got colder. I'll try to put some grease between the bushing and the mount.
