Weird! You can count on a stealership to dismiss a problem because of what ever they don't understand and overcharge for things that the average rider should learn to do.

Say umn, go to the intro section and say Hi there let us know the What you ride and how long you ride and where you ride type of stuff would allow everyone a chance to say Hi to yeah and get to know you!! New Member Introduction

It would be nice and appreciated if you would go to the New Members forum and introduce yourself and tell us a little about yourself. Folks tend to open up more if they feel they know you just a little bit.

Could be the rim, which is easily checked with a pencil and some tape. Or, it could be a bad tire and/or tube if it has one.

Lift the front wheel so you can spin it by hand, then tape a pencil to a fork tube, point near the rim. Spin the wheel, and you will see if the wheel wobbles. You can also watch for lumps in the tire.
