It seems everyone complains about this when they first get their V-Force. I know I did and now when I drive it I can't even tell if its squirelly. Of course I haven't ridden it in months because its trashed but I'm sure the problem went away or I just got used to it.

I rolled it down a hill around December, that was a crappy day. I have a thread devoted to this topic somewhere.

Here is the thread.

Yes!!!! If you have flat spots that's it. Also if you use tire slime it will make your tires unbalanced too.
