I'm just being lazy here.

Is there a grease fitting or something in the steering bushing? My steering is squeaking really bad, sounds like it's coming from just under the fairing, below the handlebars. I haven't had the fairings off to check it out yet, no time last night, but I was just wondering what the fix is. If there's no grease fitting, I guess I should just inject some lithium grease of something in there, eh?

Thanks,
Marc

What I did when I put my new stem in is just smear grease in the rubber bushing. It makes steering a little easier and no more squeak.

I did the same thing. THe only bad part is that you have to remove a lot of stuff to get to this...

I did the same thing, a lil grease in the rubber bushing and squeak is gone. There are NO grease fittings for it......JIM

I thought I might have slightly tweaked my steering stem in one of the frequent roll overs I do to impress the ladies. Guess it's a common item. How long does it take to strip all that crap off to grease?

Too make things quick and easy, they sell some type of grease in a spray can. I have seen these at ceretain stores, but just spray some on and keep on turning the stem to make sure it goes through. I just had mine out so it was easy.

I had the same problem. I had a bit of sand stuck in there and it squeeked like a sonafagun. grease fixes er right up. I hope it does not eat up that huge bushing in there. Might be hard to get from cdale.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll be lubin' her up real soon. (woohoo!)
