There's a frog in my bike..

Hey guys,
So I hit something hard at a decent speed and my bike is fine. However, I've noticed when I bounce up and down a little bit on the bike it makes a croaking noise. I'm guessing it's to do with the rear shock..

Does anyone have any idea what it could be off the top of their heads? Perhaps I should take it to a motorcycle suspension specialist?..

Cheers

Yeah probably the rear shock.

Try spraying some wd40 on the top shock mount where it pivots (creaking commonly comes from there).

Keep spraying until you find the culprit!

if it's definitely the rear I'd want to be taking the linkage apart and greasing it
