I have a new noise coming from the suspension that just started and it's driving me NUTS. Watch the video and give me an educated (or not) guess.
Thanks!

You need to lubricate the suspension. there is a bushing somewheres that is dry.. that would be my guess. It could be the dog bone link, or evern the swing arm.. but its definetly metal on metal... so i would say a dry bushing.

 Somewhere here on the forum you can find a link to download the service manual for the 2008 vision. You can see very clearly in the illustration for the rear suspension what requires periodic lubrication. Good luck.

I would eliminate that it has to do with fasteners and body panels by going around checking and tightening or maybe remove the covers behind the engine and trying again.

Thanks for the replies. I did replace the dog bone with one I ordered that has the threaded rod to lower the bike. I don't recall lubricating the bolt when I installed it. I guess that's the most likely candidate but I'll take the back end apart and lube everything. Gotta get ready for prime riding time!!
