i was wondering if anybody else had a problem with their stock shocks on their 250EX squeaking. it is only my front now but i have no clue how to stop it. i took the shock off and cleaned it. it went away for about 5 min and then came right back. i think it might be the bushings, what about you?

i know what you mean, its only when i havent ridden it in a few days and when i first start riding. after about an hour the squeaking goes away. ive tried lube, oil, cleaning them, i am stumped as to why they squeak:confused:

yes in fact my front shocks squeeked for a little while too then i took it to the shop and spent a pretty penny getting everything fixed up.. it was worth the money.

is there a reason that the shocks are squeaking:confused: is it normal or is it hurting anything?

i wouldn't use wd-40 on shocks, use some spray on lithium grease, it will work

My shocks on my 250 squeeked alot. I just put some oil on them and it fixed the problem. They havn't squeeked for several months now.
