my engine bushes are making a squeeling noise i wouldnt mind if they were old and needed replacing but i only had them replaced just before christmas by my local shop :wallbash: any advise?
your local shop wants more work out of you! (what we talking about the cradle bushes or the actual engine bushes?) if its the cradle bushes then ye no grease, there worn already. if its the engine bushes (in the actual engine) they wernt fitted correctly.
take it back... you paiod them to do work, its failed within a year... trades description act.. the service interval of any part is its life expectencey.... if it doesent live upto this its not been done correctly.
had a look around to see what parts i saw the shop had replaced and it was the swing arm bushes and the silent block do u think the engine bushes need replacing then? (the ones in the engine)
just take the cradle bolt out of the engine, move it about, if it squeeks then it wasent greased on assembely.. if not swap out the engine bushes. up to you what you wanna do with it tbh altho the piaggio items are a known quick wearing part. engine bushes last longer but there still rubber bushes. aftermarket swingarms are avalable from shiny red on a trade in basis and will last ahell of alot longer.
