Any Ideas?

When I lean over in a left turn I get a sqeeking noise. Like bare metal rubbing on bare metal. It only happens in left turns when I have to lean hard into the turn.
It is not tire noise.
Could this be the swingarm being dry? 25000 miles and no service to that part. It is going into the shop Monday for 24000 mile service and I have told them I want that done. They said we just check it for play and if it looks ok we don't take it apart. ::)
I told them, no I want it lubed.
Anyway, do you think it could be something else like wheel bearings? It does sound like it is coming from the front of the bike.
