    250EX shocks

    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

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