Noisy rear shocks
I just bought my Nightster brand new just less than 3 months ago, so it's still pretty new with only a little over 3000 miles on it now. \\; A few weeks ago, I ran over a nail so I took off the rear wheel and changed the tube. \\; Everything went smooth, and the tire seems good as new. \\; The problem is that ever since i took the tire off and put it back on, both rear shocks are very noisy. \\; They make a lot of squeaky sounds when they move. \\; They didn't do that before, and the front shocks are nice and quiet. \\; Is there something I was supposed to do that I didn't think of? \\; Any ideas what could be causing this? I was thinking about calling the dealer to see if my warranty covers the noisy shocks, but if it's a simple fix, I would hate to get them involved.

RE: Noisy rear shocks
Probably over torqued the shock bolts and the bushings are squeaky (assumming you unbolted them to get your wheel off). Factory torgue settings are a little tight. Just loosen them a little.

RE: Noisy rear shocks
I wash it just about every other weekend. \\; Is there supposed to be some lubrication there that I might have washed off?
I didn't touch the shocks when I took off the wheel.  \\;
