;D My scooter has become quite squeeky. It is 4 years old and the shocks squeek. I tried spraying WD40 on them, but they still squeeked. I really like hearing my engine, to make sure everything is ok, but listening to the squeek makes it hard to hear other things. Is there any way to stop the squeek without replacing the shocks.

I'm guessing that the rear shocks are the culprits? WD-40 is not really a good lubricant. It's designed to be more of a penetrating and moisture absorbing solvent. The bushings where the shocks attach to the frame and swingarm may be giving a problem. They sometimes wear out allowing metal to metal contact. New bushings are the cure in this case. Check for any play where the shocks attach. This could be worn bushings. You also could be having problems in the area where the swingarm attaches to the frame.
