| Great site, I put a new tire on my 95LT last year, and it is worn out. I got about 10,000 on this tire. I know I have a bad oil seal on the right, and the bike has a little shimmy. I would like to know what to check and replace to get it running right, THANK YOU. |

Fork seal? Do a search on fork seal. Lots of info.

The shimmy is likely caused by the worn tire. Reaplacing the tire is the first thing I'd try.

Jeez - check the remaining tread depth, if it less than 2 mm - change the tyre.
If it containated with fluid - change the tyre.
As mystic says, use the search button for 'fork seal'
Have you checked the tyre pressure in the last 10,000 miles ?
