Help! Squeaky front suspension (Raleigh Motus)

[tocku]

Hi all,

I've had my Raleigh Motus Crossbar for a couple of months and ridden for about 500 miles, after about 20 years of not cycling!

The front suspension seems to have developed a squeak when depressed, and it seems to travel a bit further.

My maintenance knowledge is very rusty. Where would you suggest that I start looking?

Many thanks!

Hi, try forkjuice, it a line for suspension fork seals.

I spray it on a cotton bud (one for each side) and wipe the seal.

If you have only had it for a couple of months and it was new (you don't say so I am assuming) then I would contact the place you got it from before trying anything
It is under guarantee but if you fiddle then they could say you made it worse

If it was online from Raleigh then they will probably refer you to a local dealer

I have a Motus GT....See my thread on losing my crank
https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/help-replacement-crank-bolt-for-bosch-line-raleigh-motus-gt.39272/ I initially thought the sound was coming from the front end....It was actually loose crank bolts......the handlebar bolts were also on the loose side....even if it's not that learn from my experience and regularly check bolt tightness throughout the bike
