Default Squeaky Raptor!?

Hey I have got some major squeaks coming from my bike! I greased every zerk I could find, and still after about an hour of riding I just get a horible squeak coming from around my shock mounts. I know other people have had this same problem, I am just wondering how to stop it? I know there arent any zerks on the shocks themselves.
Thanks

Yeah I took my skid plate off and everything.. It's not just the back shock that squeaks though, it is the worst out of the three, but the front shocks also do this.

squirt wd-40 in side the hole on the large swingarm bolt that holds it to the frame and motor, you can see it on the clutch side of the bike(right side)

My squeak always comes from the rear, top shock mount, I pulled the bolt and greased it, silicone lubricant works well also.

Yeah I'll try the WD-40 in all those places, and maybe taking everything apart and greasing it.. It's getting so annoying souding like a jalopy rollin down the whoops that I might just get me some nice aftermarkets while I have everything apart...
