It would help if you could identify the specific joints that are the noisiest. It's likely a combination of your rear shock, your swingarm's connection to the frame, and the subframe joints. Sometimes you can't do much with older bikes short of replacing the parts, but cleaning and greasing it should help you.

WD40 is simply a water displacement. It doesn't grease anything, it just helps remove the water, and it's especially helpful if youre trying to unscrew or pull out something and it's stuck, as it will temporarily lubricate what you spray it on.

If you want to get rid of squeaks in the joints, either get some spray lubricant(like a silicone based one, something like this) or you can tear the bike down and apply grease(just get a tub of it and it'll last you years, something like this) to a lot of the moving parts. The rear shock is something you definitely don't wanna be taking apart unless you know what you're doing, so try just putting grease on the outsides of the joints or getting spray lubricant and spraying it in the joints.

I recommend the grease method, as the silicone spray often doesn't do a long term job and it isn't nearly as water proofing. Try to find some videos of how to take apart dirt bikes, and apply those concepts to your bike. Every bike is different, but if you watch some klx 125 teardown videos, you'll catch on. Pretty much you can take off everything except the rear shock/swingarm and still be able to put it back on easily.

This one is a bit over your budget but worth it in my opinion. I've put these in all my bikes and love them.

If you want to get rid of those front turn signals for something more stealth try these turn signal hand guards

We use these and just hang them from the chest straps of our hydration packs. It's nice for the "hey you guys alright back there?" When you get a little bit ahead of the group. Or for helping set up photo ops. Obviously, you have to stop and use your hands as is, but they do have headsets that work with them. Mostly just a nice thing to have when you're in the middle of nowhere. Just in case.

I also ride a WR; a few recommendations.

Beyond that I carry a leatherman, some spoons and misc tools in a rollup, a tube, a bead buddy, a first aid kit, spare batteries and a PLB.

I use clear coat spray paint for my “glue”. No need to safety wire and doesn’t require cleaning it off when replacing grips. Plus it lubes up the grip/bar when putting it on so it just slides right on.

After you get it as clean as possible, spray it with detailing spray, it works wonders. This stuff; Maxima SC1

Thanks for the advice! I bought these odi bar caps that are meant for bicycles but they should work!

I own the same carrier and ended up getting one of these to tighten things up a bit. Mine was a bit loose in the receiver and this did the trick. Welcome to the club and as my father used to say, "If you don't fall down you aren't going fast enough!"
