Are my shocks on there way out

Post by balen1 »

Hey guys one thing I've noticed of late is that my nc 35 creeks a bit when I hop on and off it after I've been riding a while. Not sure but it sounds like it's coming from my rear shocks or swing arm. Anyone had a similar problem and know what this may be?

Top shock mount does this sometimes.

Give it a spray of WD40 or similar and it'll stop.

Maybe worth greasing the suspension linkages. I use chainlube on the top mount.
