Default progressive 412's squeeking

i shopped around on the net to get the best price on black 412's and think i ended up getting 2nd's. they had gouges that were painted over at the factory. seller wouldn't return calls or emails...live and learn i guess.
but now they have started squeaking when i sit on it or move it without motor running. cant hear it while riding thanks to wind and pipes.
anyone else have this problem and can i lube them somehow to make it stop?
