has anyone had a raptor that the rear shock squeaks like hell? i cant figure out the problem i have greased every think that i can i just cant tell were its comming from. if anyone has had similar problem how did you solve it besides getting a new shock.

 

Yup mine did,caus it was dirty. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Try Losening the nut 1/4 turn, and post again if it continues. i had teh same problem . i added antiseize, regualr grease wd-4o and nothign works. the only way it worked for me was to loosen the nut 1/4 turn and it never did it again. btw the nut doesnt loosen either just incase add a drop of loc-tite.

 

my rappys rear squeaks also... i really dont wanna loosen any bolts so let me know if u guys find any solution.

 

my rear shock sqeaks as well. I believe that loosening that nut will solve the problem, I am going to try it. The only way I have been able to get the squeak to go away was when I twisted the shock to the right or left. But of course it would move back to the "sqeaky position" sooner or later.

Yeah i tried that, cleaned it
the first time i used regualr grease.. the squeek came back next time i used antiseize.. came back. losened the nut no problem. i tighten it up for races though, other than that i losen it up for a squeek free ride. i guess its diferent on all bikes. i still havent tried the silicone so thats my next move.
thanks for teh post sixsixt

 

hey the nut loosening works i loosend it a half turn and it solved the problem. i just hope it stays on i used some locktite so hopfully it works and i will also have to try the silicone thanks!!

 

ive gotta try that mine has been squeekin forever but i learned to live with it

 

you shouldn't have to loosen bolts to get a squeek to go away... you need to back the bolt out and put some lithium grease in there...
