creaking and rear suspension probs.....

[baotian]

Hi All

i noticed that when i went on my ped this morning that there is a creaking noise when i apply the brakes, sit on it, or even accelerate or go over bumps, its not a rattle noise, its definitely creaking,
and in halfords they sell motorbike grease, which is in a spray format, shall i spray the hole bike over (most of the metal parts, eg suspension etc) or is that not a good idea.

also my rear shock suspension is not good at taking bumps, i need it to be for firm, as it bounces around to much, is there a way of tightening it up?
or is it because I'm 16 stone

cheers all

My Taishan used to creak over bumps but I wouldn't recommend spraying stuff all over the bike unless you know where you're spraying it. #sprint#
The suspension on these Chinese scooters is a bit like Buckaroo, enjoy it. #afro#

oh right, so im not the only one that has suspension that even if you go over a stone, goes down about inches, and then bounces up again lol its a bit like this =

Mine was exactly the same, sometimes I used to have a right laugh being tossed.................................in the air.

lol, maby becasue your 11 stone rarther then 16 stone
btw gingerphil, its not su much being thrown in the air, its more like when it goese over a bump, it feels like its going to bottom out, and the centre stand hits the ground alot as well , i hope its not my wait causing all this lol

is there a way of tightening it up?
