Default wobbling tire or normal?

This is on my stock v-force

When I am driving my atv in the street out of my trailer into the shed it seems like it sorta wobbels or somthing. Like it goes up and down. My friends have watched me drive it and they said it dosnt look like it wobbels, but I dunno. I guess it is scheduled for break-in tune up on the 7th so they will probably notice it if there is a problem?

One front tire wasn't seated at all on the rim on the first V-Force my dealer had in stock. I'd have a close look at that.

The axle, rim or hub can be bent. Do you get any big air or do any crazy jumps?

Jack up the rear end. Start it up, put it in drive. Watch for a wobble. If it wobbles then swap tires on the rear. If the wobble moves to the other side its the rim or hub. If it doesn't follow the tire then its the axle.
