I have encountered a (small?) problem. My swingarm is sqweeking, I put some lube on it about 2 weeks ago and it solved the problem, but the sqweek has returned. should I lube it again and live with it or is this a more serious problem?
Any advice is appreciated
Many thanks

If you find any spelling mistakes, you can keep them.
I think it would be best if you strip down the bottom linkage and have a look at the bearing etc, these come from the factory with no grease on them. There has been a few posts on here about the same thing.
Hope this helps

Y'all dont say wot year vtr - mines a FX and I dont have no sqweek
If it's a factory-fit option where can i get mine

Seiously tho' you need to use molybdenum-based grease in the swing arm bearing (and all the linkages really) cos 'onda didnt put any grease points on
