Default out of balance tires on BF

Hey guys,
I need some help......Just threw Holeshots on C-series on the BF yesterday and this thing wobbles so frigg'n bad at around 70 Kmh/45MPH, that it's almost scarey. It does get a BIT better at higher speeds, but would be almost impossible to cruise at this speed. I know someone mentioned having problems similiar to this before on a P650/700, but i can't for the life of me find that post. Any suggestions ??

Jeff

Are the holeshots brand new? if they are I would take them back. I had them on my last qad and I have a new set of 26's coming for my brute.
They should not wobble at all, they are the smoothest running tire you can get

what you need to do is make sure it is the tire wobbling and not a bent rim

yup....the rims and tires are brand new.
I've got the same set-up on the 650 and they run great !!!!
Any chance the extra width is screwing with the front end geometry ? I'm grasping here...............

check your toe in and set it to 1/4 " or 0 that should help ....or you can baslance them as well ...that should fix it (same problum with mine ) keep in mind the stock tires are only 2 ply and much lighter if they are out of balance it wont show up like a heaver tire would ...

Jack the mchine up with all tires off the ground and put the choke on so the tires are spinning, look at them and see if they are moving side to side or up and down. This will let you know what is out of whack, sometimes these thing aren't manufactured correctly. I wouldn't think it being out of balance would be that noticeable, my 27's have big chunks of rubber missing and I don't feel anything out of the ordinary

Jeff,

When did you get the Brute Force? What color did you get?

Did you keep the 650?

How do you like the BF? I was over at Phil's yesterday window shopping. Those 2 Camo's are awefully nice. They keep calling my name LOL!!!

You aren't selling one of your set of C-Series wheels by any chance?
