No, that will hold dust on and make it squeak even more.

Our 250ex dose that too along with my bros 250x.

take your shocks off, slip the bushings out, grease the interior and the exterior of the bushings, be sure to spread it well with your fingers, then put your shocks back on, theyll never squeak again.

I would suggest using marine grease also.

yep, aftermarket shocks will do it sometimes also because of the plastic spacers between springs, nothing a little riding wont fix :devil:
