When going over a bump there is a squeak or creak noise and I think it might be where the shock connects to either the frame or the swing arm.

Is WD40 good enough or what can I use without having to take it apart to oil it? Just don't know how long WD40 would stay there.

Cheers

I suspect 'not very long', would be the answer. But it might help you isolate the noise, then you'll know where it's coming from and repair it properly Wink

WD40 is a degreaser, it will get rid of whatever lubrication is left.
