• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2014 RSS squeaking sound over bumps...annoying!!!

Has been happening for the last 6 months. Took it to the dealer, who said it was the sway bar bracket...an elongated bore hole for a fastener. Should have been a warranty job, but didn't have the stock parts, so I sprung for the Baja Ron sway bar kit & accessories, which I was going to do anyway. They also found two other suspension parts that were faulty & replaced those too. $1000.00 in parts & labour & it still squeaks when the rear wheel goes over a bump...like a 1950's pick-up. :gaah: I'm beyond annoyed. :banghead:
Anyone else have this or even has another idea as to what it is?
 
If you're sure it's coming from the rear it could be the nylon shock bushing or the swing arm bushings or bearings. If you are handy you could raise the rear wheel and unbolt the shock and test both the shock and swing arm.
 
Squeaks

Check the rear shock bushings. Jack up bike, remove lower shock bolt. Move swingarm up and down. If no squeak, clean and replace bolt. Move swingarm up and down. Have good ears!
