balancing

Can someone send me a picture of what the tabs are supposed to look like,without the springs in them, so I can tell if mine are bent. I have read this might be part of the problem I have but I don't see how this could happen. I have not dropped the bike and nothingnhas ran into it. Also, where...

I've been searching for a shop that doesn't charge and arm and a leg for this service. Bay4 motorsports in Tewksbury MA was by far the highest. Was quoted 1 1/2 hours at $78 an hour for each. Several others ranged from $54-$90 each. I called Naults Windham Honda in southern NH and was told $35...

Hey guys was hoping for some advice. Just called the local yamaha dealer and they want $150 to mount and balance 2 tires if brought in off the bike. Anyone know of a place on the east coast of MA or southern NH that can save me some $. Thanks for any replys. Ride hard, stay upright!!

I have Dunlop's on my 1994 and plan on replacing them with Shinko's shortly. While I can find great deals online for the tires it seems that getting them mounted and balances will cost a good bit since I'm not getting the tires from a dealer. Just wondering what everybody else does concerning...

Hey all, I just placed on my new shinko tires with a 170 rear. My bike only has about 6100 miles and this is its first replacement tire. When placing on the static balancer, the rear wheel took me 8 - 1/4oz lead weights to balance. Is this right? I have never on my other 2 vmax's used that...

Hey guys, what the heck does the red dot on the tire represent..Its it the heaviest side of the tire or the lightest. Reason I'm asking is that I just had my Metzlers mounted today and both the front and rear wheel have the dot mounted right by the valve stem but when they balanced them , they...

So today I bought three ounces of Dyna Beads to balance my Shinkos. The rear tire was off for a puncture repair, so it was easy to stick two ounces of beads in it when mounting it back on the wheel. For the front though, I had to go through the inflating valve as I had no plans to take the...
