My MC is squeaky
Hi
I have noticed that my MC makes a squeaky sound when I am slowing down around 20mph. I think it might be the wheels, but I am not sure. Does anyone know what I should look at to investigate further or what is a known grease this bit?
Could it be the dampers? When you slow down or brake the weight will shift forward which will move the dampers. Does it also happen when accelerating?
I don't think I've heard it speeding up. Will try and notice.
Turns out it does happen when accelerating.
Seems someone else already suggested looking at the front end (though check headset bearings), so it might be a pivot related to rear suspension: check swingarm, suspension pivot points etc.
Does the sound change with changes in breaking pressure?
I don't think so. I can hear it with and without breaks being applied.
