SQUEAKY RZR S !!!

I have a 2011 rzr s with about 200 miles on it and the squeaking in the rear is about to drive me crazy! It has been squeaking since day 1.
I have greased everything that has fittings and upgraded to Walker Evans shocks. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

You are not alone --- all of my machines have done this. I usually spray some WD40 or equivalant around the shocks before I ride & that usually takes care of it.

Mine squeaks a little......do like everyone else does....turn your radio up...

When mine quit squeeking I figured out that all my rear bushings were worn out. You will hear some poping and cracking on a hard turn while working the rear suspension too. That will be the sway bar mount making noise.

If you have the fox or walker Evans shocks , you need to pull them off and grease the mono ball in the shock eyes , they have sn o ring seal and wd40 will not get to them !

My bushings used to make a little noise. Most of it comes from the bushings in the shocks like Chop said.

mine squeaked and I greased the bushings then greased the shock ends. That took it all away.

I tore into the rear suspension last Sunday and every bushing was dry as a bone and had rust on them. I cleaned them up and greased them with "Green Grease".
Did the sway bar too. I have put a couple of miles on it since then, no squeaks at all. The factory grease fittings are not getting the job done at all. I'm headed to Burning Rock on Friday morning to ride for a couple of days. I'll post next week and let y'all know if all is still quiet. I'll post some pics also!

Dumb question but what is green grease? I usually use red lucas brand

Enlighten Me LOL

I use Lucas red and tacky in everything. It's good stuff.

Grease often, or your fittings won't take grease anymore. I give mine a shot after every ride or two.

I'm with hump here. I use red Lucas as well after every ride. It's great grease!

Green grease is the brand name. Napa sells it. It is marine grease. Google it, it's good stuff
Lucas is good stuff too.

grease every fitting after every ride/cleanning.

i know some dont, but i wash my machine off after every ride. usally at the car wash with the high pressure.

every time i grease it it always has water and funk ooze out of the bushings.

i dont like the idea of water setting in the bushings so i usally grease it the next day after its dripped dry

That's exactly what I do most of the time. The water and mud drip on the floor when I grease it.
