EXHAUST SQUEAK ????

Ok sounds weird I know. But I have been having this really weird squeah on my 07 RK. I have narrowed it down to the rubber exhaust hanger at the rear of the mufflers. I have tried WD40 and silicone spray, but neither lasts very long. [sm=headbang.gif]Any suggestions????

It has done this since the bike was new.

Turn the mufflers slightly to bind the bracket in the hanger and use a thicker lube.

Either change them out, or I think someone had posted about a washer trick by putting a washer in the bracket or something like that to stop the squeak

I heard someone used a penny like that to stop a squeak. It will only cost 2 cents to try it. Won't get no cheaper.

RE: EXHAUST SQUEAK ????

they only cost $2-3 bucks apiece ,change them out (takes less than 5 minutes to do both) and be done with it until next time. My bike seems to wear these out fairly quickly,always keep a pair on hand,when i notice the muffler shaking abit,i just replace them both,it cheap.
