Simple and fast and no reason no to do this on all bikes really. We do front and rear on every bike and are always thankful whenever we need to roll some blacktop. Butter smoooooth
Rather than waiting for it to rock back and forth I can speed up the process. When I place the wheel on the stand I watch it begin to move. Then based on that I take a guess where the light spot is and move it to the top. I take a moment to verify this my moving the wheel 90o in both directions then back to the top. Once I've done that I guess what the weight might be and again move that spot to 90o to check if i'm right. Then I adjust the weight at that spot until it stops moving
I static balance my sportbike and dirt tires, works fine @200mph. Most of the time I can get it perfect without weights by rotating the tire on the wheel a few times.
Quick question, anyone chime in. I have aluminum rims with 6mm spokes and rim locks installed. I want to remove the rim locks and go from pure DOT knobbies to more ADV street/off road blend tire so I can finally now balance the wheels which is impossible with rim locks installed. What do you do with the hole in the rim where the rim lock was installed--surely you just don't leave the hole and see the tube through it? Second question, I cannot find which video had the spoke torque wrench setting Dirt Bike TV uses for maintaining the same tension on all the spokes, anyone know the torque setting used?
Balancing my new dual sport tires with a rim lock and my rear is calling for 8oz of weights. Yellow dot in over rim lock, beads seated, Tusk Dsport tires, what gives?
