Default Truing my sons wheels.

Hello my son has a 1999 KX125 the wheels are wobbling back and forth pretty bad. I have never trued wheels before. Is it that hard? Does anyone know of a place I can take them to get done and what I should expect to pay? Thanks for any input in advance

Any motorcycle shop should be able to do it. I'm guessing a shop would take up to a half hour or more at a rate of probably around $80/hr.

For the following, first look up and view some Youtube videos on wheel truing and use it to vet out anyone considered below - talk with them, if they say what the videos say they are probably a reasonable risk.

Or if you know of a local MX off road rider who is known for a nice bike that works well, offer them a twenty to true them. Ask around, there's bound to be someone who knows someone. Make sure they have a reputation for good maintenance.

Another possibility is if you know any serious bicyclist who does their own bike work. They may do their own wheels and if they do they could likely do your bike wheels.
