rear shock

[cb550man]

I am a new member and I this forum seems to be the best I have seen for good info. i have a 2004 250EX. The rear shock creeks alot. Someone told me to put grease in the bushing. Just looking for a second opinion.

Usually what you hear is the spring rubbing on the shock body. But if it's the bushings, don't use grease because it will just attract dirt and make things worse. Get yourself a teflon dry-lube spray and shoot the bushings with that. Dry graphite works well too, but it's black and messy.
