Thought I would start a thread about daily tinkering and wrenching.
I have a had a couple squeaks and creaks that were annoying me. Isolated them out to be the rear oem sway bar and the upper steering shaft pivot point. Removed the rear sway bar brackets and pulled off the rubber grommets. Cleaned grommet and sway bar then regreased grommet with marine grade grease. Then reassembled. Next I removed the upper fender plastic and pulled out the two bolts holding the stem clamp. Slid the rubber grommet up and removed. Again a thorough cleaning of all surfaces and then greased with marine grade. Reassembled and wiped up any excess grease. Reinstalled fender top. Both jobs were extremely easy and cured my squeaks. Its so smooth and quiet now!
I could of went the super lazy route and just used some spay lube while wiggling the parts, but this will last much longer.
