Squeeks

[redrider06]

I have 3 2004 250 ex quads, all are now squeeking from shock bushings. Is there a prefered grease or lube that I can use that will stop this noise?

Look in the owners manual and it will tell you, or a repair manual if you have it. Id bet though that if it is squeaking that the bushings are allready worn out to the point that grease wownt help. If there is play or the bearings are loose on the shafts, the bushings or whole shocks may need to be replaced.

Thanks, I'll take a closer look at it. We have been powerwashing the bikes after each ride, wonder if that has something to do with the prob.
hope I don't have to replace shocks this soon.

Problem solved. Reoved the shocks,cleaned bushings and applied marine grease. No more squeek and waterproof.
