Title: Raptor Rear Suspension Post by: Yamaha72 on December 29, 2005, 04:55:54 PM My rear shock on my 03' raptor 660 squeaks every time it is compressed or released and it annoys the hell out of me. What can I do to stop the squeaking?????

Mine would do that every once in a while also. I just sprayed it with silicone and it stopped. Title: Re: Raptor Rear Suspension Post by: Yamaha72 on December 29, 2005, 05:42:35 PM spray what with silicone?????

Title: Re: Raptor Rear Suspension Post by: RaptItUp on January 10, 2006, 12:05:34 PM I 've got that problem too. (No, not the weight, well maybe i'm a few Budwheezers over what I should be). I had a hard time figuring out where it is coming from. Seems like everytime I spray it, the quiet lasts for a short time and then comes right back. Any other ideas besides a new shock? I am thinking of taking my rear suspension apart see if I could isolate it to one spot like maybe bushings. Also curious why it only happens to some and not all Raptors. Also does it more some days than others. I spoke to a service guy at a dealer in Palm Harbor that I despise and said he had never heard of this on Raptors. Talked to a Raptor rider at Big Scrub and he said he had the same problem. He said it was the shock also. Title: Re: Raptor Rear Suspension Post by: 01ZX12R on January 10, 2006, 01:07:32 PM Pull the upper shock bolt out and clean good to get all the old hard grease off of it. Then lube it up real good with a teflon grease and reinstall it. I have done it with 4 Raptors now and has taken care of the problem.
