Just an update. Did a google search and this is what I found.
Here are my highlight notes:
One of the few bad things I find on my 450i is the lack of grease fittings.
1. The only two I know are the rear suspension lower pivot arm has a grease fitting on each side and that's about it.
2. Supposedly everything else is sealed. Every so often I use a can of dry lube (PB Blaster) and spray around all and any joints, get the stuff that is Ok for plastic and rubber. It dries so no dust collection afterwards, I really hit the joining parts heavy and it seems to eliminate any squeaks, I do this after washing to help get any water out from between joints and then every so often....my father always said if a little lube is good then a lot of lube is even better!!\
3. Just a guess here but sounds like a spring squeak.
1. As I mentioned before get a can of spray dry lube and start spraying....not going to hurt anything,
2. just stay away from the brake pads and rear disc.
3. Spray around all the bushings especially the rubber ones.
4. I have been doing this for years even when I had quads, no squeeks, and everything moves freely and who knows it might even stop some rust or corrosion...
4. Mine would squeak really bad and it was coming from where the A arms meet the frame. Spray the lube of your choice on each of those. Worked for mine!
After I cleaned my bike I'll be getting greasy with my UVX 500i.
Note;I still can't get the damn fuel gauge to work. It's gotta be the contact points in the floaty rocker arm. That gas gauge not working properly bugs the crap out of me. Yea, I get anal. It displays but doesn't go down from full when I'm running low on gas.
