My front forks squeak. They seem fine otherwise. Have not touched them at all. Bike is a 2004 America with only 2700 miles on it.


My mind and body are still out of tune I hope they run into each other real soon "

you can shoot some wd40 up there and that will probably stop the squeak. If it returns, loosen the fork shrouds and make sure they are aligned right. Many have had this come up and it is an easy fix, well so far!! I did a search and came up with this: Squeaky forks

Thanks ooooya. That was my first thought some WD. Got to remember about the search. Oh and pup try paper plates to get rid of your annoying squeak.

Go to this site, http://www.newspeedmaster.com/ and buy the rubber gaters that replace the stock metal fork shrouds. No more squeeks and it will make your bike look more "retro".
