squeek question

#1 (**permalink**) 05-25-2005, 12:01 AM

My 99ss (940 miles) has developed a pretty substantial squeek when on the seat and giving the rear suspension a good up and down.

Could be the swingarm (don't know if it is bushing or bearing?) or somthing in the rear shock mount.

I just had the bike down to the frame and motor and everything is like new.

Did you lube up the swingarm pivot pin, I had that squeek before...Lotta effort to fix for a squeek. I had a 750ss for sale last summer and this fat guy came and wanted to ride it and the thing squeeked big time, but with me it was quiet.

check for missing o-rings on the upper shock mount. they usually fall off any time you remove the shock.
