Re: paparides
The tire is 11 to 12 years old? Everything in the front was checked out? The tire sidewall has to be dry rotted and the fluid in the forks is probably very dark and maybe lumpy. If the rear tire is the same age you need to pony up for a new set of tires and change the front fork oil. You also need to change the front and rear wheel bearings, they are not the sealed type and need to be pregreased before install.

I whole heartedly agree with Kemo and HDDon. I don't care how much tread appears to remain, it isn't safe riding around on tires over 10 years old!
Definitely put some new rubber on, front and back. Next I would change the fork oil and check the steering head bearings. Think hard about the wheel bearings also.
I'm willing to bet these things fix your problem but if they don't, by all means come back and we'll figure this thing out!
