My MC is squeaky (self.motorcycles)

I have noticed that my MC makes a squeaky sound when I am slowing down around 20mph. I think it might be the wheels, but I am not sure. Does anyone know what I should look at to investigate further or what is a known grease this bit?

Could it be the dampers? When you slow down or brake the weight will shift forward which will move the dampers. Does it also happen when accelerating?

I don't think I've heard it speeding up. Will try and notice.

Turns out it does happen when accelerating.
