Swingarm bearing ?'s
Well, definitely found where my suspension squeak was coming from. Pulled my swingarm off and the bearings had rust on and in them, and the bushings were bone dry, like they were never lubed. Don't they put some kind of assembly lube on these from the factory? Are there any "better" bearings out there, or should I just go to the dealer and get moco parts? And what kind of lubrication do you guys use when assembling rear suspension?

Haven't had any reason to tear into the swingarm.. but I've had a squeak several times when the wife and/or I get on or off the bike..
I was told by our master wrench at our dealer to spray a little silicone on the rubber shock bushings that go in the frame when needed..
Seems like every other Yr they start to squeak a little, so I give them several squirts to stop the squeak.
