Got my fuel pump and new exhaust today. Hopefully I can get it on a dyno soon. Ordered a GoPro camera today too.

Hey Bob,
Happy New Years!!!
My Tick doesn't make any noise. It's probably in the pedal pivot. Get some CRC and spray any pivot point.
If I get any sqeak when pushing a pedal it's probably from this stinking metal knee I have.

Hey Pit, hope all is well. Its been a while since I seen your name. Most times, I seen your name on the "other forum."
No squeak here with the TICK Adjustable. But I am sure the extra time it took me in labor hours more than make sup for your squeak.
Enjoy the New Year

Actually most of my time is spent on this site. Happy New Year back at ya.
I guess I will try and slide back under there and start spraying. It is probably a lot easier with the seat out.

I agree with Kevin, it may well be the pivot bushing. No squeek on my Tick either. Amen on taking the seat out.
I see you're in OP. I going to be down that way in a couple weeks to let Doc and the guys at EFI Alchemy do some things.

They do good work. Doc has been a close friend for a few years now.

I guess you had already a knee replacement Kevin...hence no squeaking anymore

Happy New Year Christian,
Actually, in the past 3 years I've had my right knee replaced
twice . The first time it got severely infected a week after surgery and I coucld have lost the leg. 18 months later, I have to have the whole thing replaced again. Those were number 12 and 13 major knee surgeries on that knee.
Remnants of 16 years racing GP bikes. Wouldn't have missed it for anything!

Happy New Year Kevin...
You find me glad to learn that your left knee is not squeaking in its natural shape!!!!
BTW, weather is finally gorgeous here for driving the Vette around and feel the all power of the engine...and no squeaking I can hear from my seat, but maybe the engine is too loud...

My stock master squeeks from time to time if the car sits for awhile, then will go away...so I don't think it's the Tick, just need to excercise it more often
