Does your rear suspension "groan" when compressed?
I've noticed this since new. When the rear suspension is slowly compressed or decompressed, it emits a faint groaning sound, if the garage is quiet enough. Imagine a human groan, then raise it an octave or two, and that's about it. For example, even taking the bike off the side stand to vertical, I can hear a groan. I'm assuming it is damping fluid flowing somewhere within at just the right rate to create some sort of oscillation inside. Thoughts?

Did you eat too much over the holiday season?
Your bike is groaning at the extra weight.

what should i do for that ?
Just now before 2-3 day i did serviceing of my bike and just after that rear suspension if slowly compressed or decompressed, it emits a faint groaning sound.....
I've never heard that on any bike..period. Unless there wasn't enough fluid inside..I don't think that is normal. It should make a sound like...shhhhh, like someone is breathing out of their nose kind of heavy. Groaning? Yea..somethings rubbing inside, like I said may be due to not enough fluid or a busted seal.
