How to Balance Motorcycle Tires

Video Transcript

"I'm here to talk about balancing your motorcycle tires. Anytime you are to mount a new tire you are going to want to have it balanced or high speed balanced or if you feel like your bike is off or has a wobble you hit a square edged bump and you just want to get it balanced just to make sure that it is balanced you are going to need to remove your wheel either the front or the rear or both. Then you are going to need to bring it to a dealer or a tire shop that has a high speed balancer. Most tires now are Z rated which means they are rated for 150 miles an hour plus so therefore, you need to have a high speed balancer to balance the motorcycle tire. This particular machine right here you can find at any local dealer or tire shop usually for a pretty nominal fee they will balance your tire for you and verify that it is well within spec. But again the times that you would have this, use this machine would be when you replace tires, if you feel your bike is unstable or you have hit a square edged bump and you just want to verify that your tires are in spec is when you would use this type of high speed balancer."
