I used some silicone lubricant sprayon the tie rods and where they meet the stearing stem and it helps for awhile and then it is back again has anyone else had this problem if so how do I fix it.....
would appreciate the help

Hi
Check the shock bushes , maybe the dealer forgot to grease the bushes when they assembled the bike.

Yeah mine is doing the same thing on the right front end but will check the shock bushing and see if they were greased or not late!

Its just because its new suspension. There isnt much you can do. Dont spray it with something like wd40 or greece, it only worsens it when it fade's. My ds did the same thing, and it was very very annoying, but after about 2 weeks of hard riding, it will work its way out...it will "break in"

When I have a squeek I just wind the chain lube right to it, might not look pretty but it kinda coats and sticks, good if do alot of mudding and dont wash it much, after a while you just scrape it off and it looks new.
