How to balance motorcycle wheels using a static balancer.

This is how I balance the front wheels of motorcycle wheels. I don't do the rears because I don't feel a difference whether the rear is balanced or not. The front is more important because a out of balance wheel will vibrate the handlebars.

There are several static balancers out there in the market. Just do a search on Google and find one that you like, they pretty much all work the same way. Or you can choose to make your own, it's up to you. The process is the same.

How often will the tire get unbalanced to where you actually need to do this?

@acarter4242 You do this after you change your tires or when you feel excess vibrations.

Man I saw all your videos! They are still helping me a lot! You are good, very good! Bravo. We live a little bit far from each other, but trust me, you would be my best co-owner in my mechanic garage! Ciao , alla prossima.

Did you also change the tires by yourself?

[wedginator]

@spirignaus No, I bring it to a friend. He has a machine to do change tires.

Have you tried dynabeads or BBs? I'm probably changing my tires tomorrow & am gonna try the Dynamic method

@peter0139 I pondered that too, but the 2 bolts are very light and negligible to the balance. I think the maximum tolerance is 1/2 ounce so the 2 bolts won't make much of a difference. Thanks!

Question: is that balance-axle balanced out? Because there are 2 bolts in there...

You can check this very easy: Set it down and see or the bolts will rotate to the underside. I was wondering.. I also have this type of balancer, but with plastic cones.

Good video!
