How to fix this squeak sound ?

[sunny]

i meant wd40 on the forks right at the seal

at first, i used WD40 silicon spray lubricant, which wd40 should I use now?

....Sunny, try taking the front guard off and see if it still does it....just cos there is a small 'keeper' under there that has a rubber insert in there...might have come out...

the carbon fiber front guard?

the carbon fiber front guard?

yep...undo the 4 bolts on top and slide the guard forward a tad...underneath you will see the tab and the matching tongue it fits into...there should be a rubber grommet on the tongue thingy...

Possible that it is the front mudguard incorrectly installed in the support. Many have this poorly attached front mudguard (same new motorcycle in store)

I have never used that stuff just the regular
Did u spray on the fork dust seals?

Why did it not squeek initially if installed incorrectly?

It's moisture trapped inside the fork around the seal I believe. I had it on my Yamaha 1100 from riding in the rain. It took a few weeks to a month of everyday riding for it to disappear if I remember correctly. It wasn't constant just every time I slowed and used the front brake with the transfer of motion forward. It may in fact be the mudguard just going through the process of elimination. The WD 40 around the seals (like TURBO200R4 stated) may help and be generous with it. It's worth a try anyway. If it doesn't work it was TURBO's idea.

I see on the video that the front mudguard is made of carbon, it may not be original in delivery. If has been changed, it may be incorrectly reassembled ...

But since he has had it no squeezing? If reassembled incorrectly why take so long for squeek?

Rubber bushings on steel squeak when they get wet that is the reason why i reccomend wd40 it displaces water. A quick shot will stop a fan belt from squealing but not always recommend but others
