    I have a 2008 CR125 and every time I sit on it or move the swingarm I get a squeaking noise coming from the rear suspension and I'm wondering if it's a problem or not, thanks.

    Welcome! :)

    I do not have that particular bike, but if it were mine I would spend a few hours on removing the swing arm and cleaning/re-greasing the bearings. Personally I like to use Bel-Ray grease.

    likely a shot bearing somewhere. you will likely find a bearing full of rust.
    and a big :thumbsup:on the bel ray grease!!

    You are both right I tore it down and found a bearing full of dirt and rust, but it cleaned up nicley and with new grease the squeak is gone. Thanks for the helpful replies.

    if you have not already, perhaps pay some attention to the linkage and upper/lower shock joints as well..

    when did they lose the zerk fittings? my 95 has zerks for the swinger by the shock.. prior to my model the swinger pivot bolt was gun-drilled with a zerk on the end.
