Squeaking noise and plastic box
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.

Re: Squeaking noise and plastic box
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 Jambo Sent from my thingie

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