This is going to sound stupid, but my new 420 2WD wobbles/hops noticeably on pavement at slow speeds. I'm thinking it could be the Maxxis tires, but it's noticeable enough to feel when rolling slow.

Anyone else feel this? I've never noticed it like this with other quads.

I know my bike is brand new.

Well check your wheel bearings by shaking each wheel back and forth checking for play, but I'd say the wobble is comming from your tires especially where they are new. It may get less noticeable as they wear, but its something I've gotten used to running agressive tires.

I thought so. I never noticed it on other quads but I am more **** as I get older.

I am sure it's the brand new tires. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Put it up on crates and turn the wheels. Figure out which one it is, then pull the wheel off and see if the hub is wobbleing. If it is, pull the hub off and see if you have bent your axle.

Hard to imagine you bent those steel rims. The hubs and axles don't usually have problems, so it could very well be an unbalanced tire.
