I can't stop my swingarm from squeaking,greased the crap out of it and all the grease comes out the right side of swingarm {motor side}.How do I get it to take grease all around? it is the leftside swingarm,rightside is ok.

Mine normally squeaks also even after greasing. I've heard of others having the same trouble. I wash and grease my bike after every ride. At first I couldn't figure out if it was the swing arm or the rear shock and I'm still not positive which it is. If you find a cure let me know. Beefy 250

My Xplorer squeaks where the shock mounts to the axle. Are you sure that isn't where the squeak is coming from. You can take the lower bolt out, and smear some white grease on the bushing to take out the squeak, although it doesn't seem to hurt anything.

I fixed the squeak,it was the left side swingarm,had to use almost a whole tube of grease it was going everywhere but where the squeak was so I just kept putting it in till it stopped. Tried the shock first that was not it.Thanks for all the help.
