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

Wow super thorough and to the point! Thank you so much!

I use this method all the time. I stop the wheel carefully with my hand, heavy spot still in the bottom. Its so easy

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.

[@thetruthserum2816]

the beauty of DIY.. better results..

[@pepperjackshack2439]

I put a magnet on the speak to figure out the balance weight then put the weights on

[@TheCarlejoseph]

Cool video!

[@spencerclark2269]

Pretty dang easy

Need some rims hubs spokes and tires for 40" carriage wheels on horse carriages. New age rubber tire, aluminum rim, disc brake, carbon fiber cab, air suspension horse carriage.

I always thought that this should be done with no wheel spacers. I could never get it right with the spacers in.

[@markmaceachern1]

Maybe I'll weight my rim lock, and match the weight. And start there. Just noticed my tire wearing Strang and its definitely not balanced

[@leep814]

Is it OK to use blue lock tite on the screws?

[@TACOMOTOCO]

Yes

[@z33tanner]

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?

[@fordfan09]

D sports... enough said

[@pd8559]

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?

Email Jay with questions. Contact info in About tab.

[@eriknash8783]

Been at this for 40 mins and just keep adding weight still keeps dropping to rim lock on the bottom.

[@cliffbernsen438]

As someone else mentioned, try rotating the tire on the wheel then try again.

[@beefyjoe]

So this is completely unesesary for someone riding trails only?

[@JamesPiccone]

If it's out of balance.

[@bobbyrobbins9816]

Just buy a new bike when you need new tires.
