Hi,
I presume it's something to do with the suspension because squeaks can be heard after speed bumps and when I sit on it/move around. Can't find the source though Thinking any help? Things in particular to check out?

Is it the front suspension or the rear one, that squeaks? Are you sure it's not just a cable rubbing against something, such as frame? No need to panic, yet. Thumbs Up

One cause of squeaks are the swing arm bushes, part # 61261-13700-000. OEM are plastic but iirc some owners have fabricated bronze ones - however others say although bronze lasts longer it squeaks from the start. So possibly your plastic originals have failed OR someone's fitted their own bronze ones. Most likely the former though.
