I have a 06 america with 3500 miles. I recently noticed something wasn't right in the front end. A trip to the dealership indicated it was out of balance. They balanced the tire but still have some bounce( for lack of a better word) They thought it may have a flat spot in the tire. Anyone ever have this issue?

I got quite a bit of vibration and uneven tire wear with stock front tire. Trued wheel and replaced tire.

I've had tires that had flat spots or were out of round on cages and other bikes. I think the '06 had wire rims. If so, it's possible that the spokes need to be tuned.
