Grease it! and the shock bushings and bolts too

 

How many miles have you put on it? Mine did the same thing for the first 40ish miles. Like ^ said, I greased everything a couple times and have put it through the usual mud and water. Now at 120 miles and haven't had squeaks the last couple rides. Just grease it and put it through its paces for a few good rides and it should go away. If that doesn't work, just buy some good speakers to drown out the noise!!

 

What Rick said, grease the shock mount bushings. These things are notorious for that infernal squeak.

 

yep, had the same squeaking on my brand new 900 also. Tried regreasing with gun, but didn't help. Those grease zerks just don't quite get enough grease all in there. So I took everything off and greased every bolt/bushing on the rear suspension myself and presto, squeak gone! k:

 

Mine is doing it after 30 miles. Needs a good greasing

 

good grease will be your best friend!

 

Exactly how do you grease a shock bushing?

 

Yeah I wondered the same thing.

 

check out the end of this video.. The last three or so minutes..

 

makes a world of difference taking the shocks off and getting grease inside the shock bushing. I did it on my xp850 about 100 miles ago and still no squeaks..soooo much better

Anti Seize works well on the shock bolts when you take them out to clean and lube them

 

Got it. Thanks!

 

Wow....I am going to try this. My first ride on my new S 900 today and it squeaked terrible. Hope this helps.

 

Just replace it all with superdaves (including the shock bushings) and you can guarantee it to be squeak free and last a LONG time

 

The whole shock setup?

 

Super daves makes a bushing kit for the fox shocks, I had them on my 800s, they replace the bushings in the top and bottom of shock. You actually remove the little spherical bearing that always seizes up and causes them to squeak. I just bought a 900s myself and I am about to order those and prolly go ahead and replace all my bushings on the machine while its new. Never had any luck with polaris bushings lasting too long

 

Thanks for the detail on the bushings. I found this kit at super daves
.
RZR Bushing kits 6

Is that the kit I need? Are they very hoard to change out? Thanks for your help.

 

Before you order, I would call super daves and double check those are the right bushings. I think that kit is actually for the 800 S, I'm not sure if the fox shocks on the new 900s use the same bushing as the kit you sent a like to. I spoke with them tuesday and they said they had bushings for the 900s shocks. They were $79 or $89. He is in the process of trying to complete the full bushing kit for the whole machine right now, he's doing some testing on the rear outter AArm bushings before he offers it for sale.

 

Ok....thanks so much for the info. Hard to believe that Polaris would produce a vehicle that squeaks as bad as mine does. I am calling the dealer to complain tomorrow for whatever good that will do.

 

It is a shame for sure, and those bushings are alot of money, but once they're in, the squeaks are gona and the cheap wear and tear of polaris bushings are history. I have 5 miles on my 900s and I'm gonna replace everything in it from A-arms to shocks!

 

Every zerk? All whopping 6? That's all I can find

 

It also helps to raise the rig off the ground and grease then set back down and hit it again.

 

I greased all 14 zerk fittings on the machine....did not do the 2 on the drive shaft as that is not the problem. I pulled the shocks off and took out the bushings and greased them really good. But I still have the squeaking in the rear end of the rzr. Any advice would be appreciated as I cant seem to locate the problem. The machine is new.....5 hours on it and not been in any water. Had the squeaking from day one.

 

Try greasing the bushings in the sway bar. Helped me on both my 900 and 570

 

^^^^^^^ What he said! Also don't miss the two zerks per side on the rear hub/bearing carriers. Probably have to remove the wheels to get them all.

 

I grease mine about ever other ride. I kept getting an annoying squeak from the front end. I got pissed off when I couldn't find it. I hit the shock mounts with PB Blaster and I haven't heard that squeak since last riding season lol.

 

Yep seems to be the most common area

 

20 total sounds right. At one time I was counting 22 from memory, but was confusing this with my RZR 570.

 

It does sound much better now....maybe after some riding the grease will finish working into all the bushings and I will have a squeak free ride.
