I was wondering how track racers balance tires, what method do you use?
I ride street FZ6R and ZX6R and both bikes have been balanced different. One was done by the tire sitting on a stand horizontally while a level was used to determine weight placement. Other bike was spun balanced I think they did a high speed balance on it? Both ride great. I do have two buds how have used the plastic beads placed in the tire. They claim it worked great.
I have read so much about using the beads and most claimed it is great for larger truck tires. I have seem about a 60% / 40% split on motorcycles.
Just wondering if anyone has used beads and if they liked them also how do you track guys / gals balance your tires , if you have ever used the beads.
Thanks to all who reply to entertain my inquisitive knowledge seeking pea brain.
