Squeeeeeeeeeeky forks

[FreezyRider]

My front forks have an annoying squeak in them. This seems to be constant, every up and down motion produces this squeak. Can't hear it when I'm riding (the CHIRP drowns it out!) but when getting on or off, or particularly when working on the bike...every movement seems to produce the squeak.

 

Aren't the forks supposedly filled with oil? Why would they be squeaking like this? Any ideas?

My forks did the same thing.

 

I squirted them down with WD-40 over 15 months ago and have not heard a squeek since then.

Do you treat them the same way?

Usually caused by the fork seals, wd40 would cure that.

WD-40 is too expensive to waste on them meeses. The wife makes me set mice traps for them now.

WD40 is too expensive??? How much are the .44 Mag. shells? If they're cheaper than WD40 maybe he should just give his forks a shot of those!!
