Default 07 Softail fork oil

Hello, I have an 07 softail deluxe and it has an annoying front end squeak. Does anyone know if this could be from the fork oil never being changed? I only got the bike last July and it had 13k miles on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Matt

Whether it's the source of the squeak or not I don't know but unless you have service records to prove otherwise consider the bike ready for a fork oil change.
