Squeaky Front Shocks

[Avrohead]

I am having an issue with my front forks. Whenever I ride, every little movement of the front shocks causes them to squeak. It sounds like I have Tweety Bird caught in my front tire. It doesn't seem to affect the operation of the shocks, however it has done this since I got the bike last year, so it may be affecting performance. Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks

Dust boots probably - take a little fork oil and rub in aroung the fork tube just above the dust boot and see if it helps.

Have you checked or changed the fork oil?

Are you sure it's the shocks? I had a squeek up front and it took a while to find. Ended up being the headlight(previous owner left a couple of screws out). Also could be your speedometer or speedo cable.

The chrome dust covers have an o-ring that slides up and down the fork tube that needs some oiling. I have used silicone spray lube with good results.
