Creak, Creak

Went to Inverness today and upon my return when parking the bike up, I heard a creaking, I am assuming from the rear suspension linkage.
Is this a major strip down or a simple enough bit of maintanance?

Cheers

Aye, when you put your weight on the bike and if you apply the front brake and rock the bike about.
Plenty of tools

and reasonably competent

The main tool you need Tattie is a stand to lift the rear off the ground. Not a paddock stand. Once it's up a good set of spanners is all you need to get it apart. Do it sooner rather than later or you could end up with one like mine.
