Hi guys me again!

I noticed my bike is making a squeaking noise when slowing down. The best way to describe it is the noise a pulley makes when turning around, that sort of squeaking. I only notice it when coming to a halt or going at slow speed. Any ideas?

Also what is the little box on the right side of the bike below the passenger seat with the min max line, I can't tell what level the fluid is at.

Cheers guys

The box is the rear brake fluid reservoir, shine a torch through it, or wiggle it out and take the lid off to look at the level.

Cheers mate, il check at the weekend. I think the squeak is the front wheel axle, needs some lube

more like your front brakes are binding.

There wheel axel it's not a moving part, so won't be squeaking.

Try a little copper grease on the back of the brake pads

Binding brakes?

It doesn't sound like the brakes when they have dust on them

iv got this same squeaking noise, happens at slow speeds and even when braking so i dont think its brakes as it would most probably stop when braking. so yeah...
