Default Squealing sound when I turn the bars?

Hey all, I am having trouble, when I turn the bars all the way to the right there is a squealing sound.....does this sound like it may be the fork oil?

Squealing sound? Can you describe it a little more? And from what part is it coming from?

It may be your bearings.

It makes the sound only when turning the handlebar/clip-ons? Is anything rubbing? Does it happen when the front wheel is not on the ground and you turn the forks?

Make sure the little bird is not up in there doing maintenance before turning to the right
