Squeaky Rear Suspension - Page 2

Well, after I got done singing the praises of the RX3 over on Advrider, I got home from riding to work, and my rear end is squeaking something fierce. Well, the bikes that is. When I bounce the rear, the squeak is coming from either the top or the bottom shock linkage, sounds like a typical Ford front end with worn bushings, is best I can describe it. Happens on the upstroke and downstroke of the shock. I hit it with some WD40, and it's no better. I've done some dusty dirt road riding, but I've had a few dual sports in my day, and never had an issue. Has anyone had this? I'd rather not tear the rear end apart to regrease it if I don't have to...but nothing seems like it's binding up, it works the way it's supposed to. I only have about 1600 miles on it, or so.
