The front end of my p1k is squeaking like crazy and I CAN NOT figure out where it is coming from!! It creaks really bad when you turn and rocking the bike side to side. I've geased the shocks, and a-arms. Still creaking bad. Anyone had this issue?!!

Lube the springs where they rest against the upper and lower seats. Do this with the vehicle jacked up so the springs are decompressed.

If that doesn’t get it, it’s probably a ball joint. You can stop ball joints from squeaking by using a syringe with grease. Just puncture the rubber boot. Sure you’re putting a hole in it but if it’s squeaking then it’s life is already ending anyway. The small hole isn’t going to let much dirt in anyway. It will buy some time.
