Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Squeeky front shocks

The front shocks on my 05 are making a squeek on every move. Can they be lubricated with something. How would you do it?

Squirt a small amount of silicone spray up under the two fork shrouds.

My 04 squeeks sometimes too.
A little WD 40 sprayed under the fork shrouds fixes it.
Just watch out that the WD 40 dosnt drip onto your front brake disks...Its kind of hard to stop when that happens....

Underneath the fork shrouds there is a small hard rubber spacer (o-ring like) that sits in a groove on the forks that the shrouds rub on instead of rubbing on paint. (makes sense) Well it's that rubber making the squeek. Just felt like explaining what's under the shroud just to give you a better idea of what you're lubing.
