When I bought my first brand new KDX 200, I was told to read the manual and follow. Well there was a section where it said make sure your spokes are tightened and so I got my new spoke wrench and tightened them all down real good, front & rear spokes. Well, I sooned learned this was not good!!!, I was riding soon after and noticed the front & rear wheels were real wobbly, well to make a long story short a friend of mine who knew how to true a wheel helped me and we got it as close as possible to true, but still a slight wobble, but I never had any noticable problems w/ handling. If you look at other guys wheels none are probably true, but unless you're going breakneck speed you shouldn't worry if you're wheel is not 100% true.
