My Bonnie America has just started squeaking from the front. I did a search and read that the cure was to rotate the shrouds a little and spray with silicon lubricant. Do I have to loosen the yoke to do this or do I just spray above the shrouds?

John, you can either remove the 2 screws that hold the lower shroud in place, slide it down a little and spray or just spray up underneath it from the bottom.

I just snaked the tiny nozzle extender under the shroud and gave it a quick spritz.

I just let mine squeek for a while and it stopped.
