Default Brand new sportsman/rear tire wobbles

We just got a new 800 x2 this last weekend, when driving I noticed looking back that the rear right tire has a wobble. I put it on jackstands at let the wheels spin wondering if it was a bent rim/ axle or ?? It looks like the wheel is spinning true and the tire is wobbling. Has anyone seen this, will it mabey balance out?? I only have 13 miles on it.
Thanks for any advice

Just a thought here.........But sometimes it there is a small dry MUD spot on the tire..and if it is turning.............The tire may look like it has a wobble!!.........I was behind many that looked like this...................Thought I throw that out there to you just incase it was a muddy spot your looking at on the tire!!............Did you check the tire pressure........They may have put more than 5 PSI into it just to "SEAT" the bead.............Caper............

if there is no mud built up and no marks anyhere on the rim maybe where you hit something, and have done it since new, take it back to the delaer and get it fixed/replaced. if it only does it when you go faster then its either out of balance or mud built up.

My '07 X2 500 left rear rode like it was flat spotted. Dealer said that tires go flat during shipment and tend to cup. That's what mine felt like. I just over-inflated it to about 40psi and let it stay that way for a couple of days. The only time that I notice it now is at low speeds on very hard surfaces.
