This is my first post here. I noticed when I was lubing my chain on my zxr 250 the other night that my rear wheel was not spinning true. It had a high spot at one point maybe 5mm higher than the rest of the wheel so you could see the rim and tyre going up and down as it went around. The wheel doesn't seem to have any obvious distortion to it - certainly not dented at any one point. I was thinking maybe the axel could be bent a bit? It just passed a WOF this week and I cant feel it when riding. Is it something I should be worried about.

It must be distorted a bit,but it won't be the axle,it doesn't spin with the wheel.if it's not noticeable when you're riding it can't be too bad.Next time you put a tyre on it check it out with no tyre,it should be under .5mm runout where the tyre sits,though i have seen some specs that allow up to a mm :niceone: .If it's anywhere near 5mm get it checked out by a professional. :doctor:
