Hi all
Not been on the Tener Lady for a while ( renovating our house) thing is i moved her today and there's one HELL of a SQUEAK coming from around the back shock or swing arm pin!!!

I've read plenty of how crap the shock is and will be changing in good time, so if it's that now worries.

If it's the swing arm pin is the a easy way to do the job ? i've looked and can't see a nipple so looks like a pull apart job !!! if this is the case i'll fit a nipple , can't hurt !!

Suppose i'd best grease the head bearing while i'm at it.

Are you sure it's not the top shock mount because that is a notorious squeaky point. Also I've found that the centre stand pivots get squeaky too - they pivot with the suspension, as does the rubber pad resting on the swing arm - another source of squeaks!

yeah mine squeaks sometimes too...couldnt quite locate the squeak though. i know for a fact my swing arm & shock linkages are nicely greased up.

and no...there is no grease nipple.

WD40 all the way

"WD40 all the way "

First thing id did !!! but as Pleiades says i'll give the top mount a spraying, it's difficult to say where exactly the noise is coming from, but bloody anoying

You can grease up the rear linkages and swing arm pivot by removing one at a time so it's really easy. I suggest you do this sooner rather than later as my bike with only 5k on the clock (3yrs old) was just about bone dry - especially the swing arm pivot.

You need a centre stand though to take the weight off everything.

Head bearings were also dry.

You'll feel happier once it's all done.
