I have a 04 honda ex 400. I have taken it out about 10 times. Now I noticed the front suspenion squeaks loudly. I thought maybe i should gease it, but there are no grease fittings. Has anyone noticed this problem? How can i fix it?

All you need to do is spray some lubricant on the shock bushings on the a-arms. You could even take out the bushings and apply some grease to them. Just spray both ends of the shocks whee they hook to the frame where the bushings are and it should stop.

Mine squeak pretty bad when it's been sitting for a few hours. All I do to fix it is spray some wd-40 on the bushings and stuff, then I drive it for a while and it gradually stops doing it until it won't do it even if I try to make it squeak. lol Worried me at first but my dad told me what to do now and I'm like duh! No biggie now. lol
