Static balance or Dyna beads

2005 VTX1800 N with a Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread 205/60/16 with 40 psi. I static balanced the tire when I put it on and it only took 1ounce of weight. I have put about 200 miles on it so far and it rides great. I am about to take the bike up on a ride into Canada in June. I know that alot of riders use Dyna beads but has anyone just static balanced their tires and not have to use the beads???greazman(Rich)

beads are used instead of having to balance... if you got it balanced you're good

Thanks!!! Since I am new to the DS I just wanted to know if anyone has had trouble with the tire going out of balance as it wears. greazman(Rich)

I am running the same tire as you ,I started out with static balance and added the dyna beads,a year later just as a precaution without removing static weights ,works fine for me.

I static balance to find the total weight then I add DB's in that same amount. I don't continue using the weights.
I balance about 35-50 tires a year.

if you use dyna beads, you don't ever have to balance the tire again.

Thanks again for all the advice!!! greazman(Rich)

I use "air soft pellets" to balance my tires and they work great and a lot cheaper than dyna beads. I use the .12 plastic pellets so it should take about 228 pellet count to make an oz. and install them before you seat the bead.

******* Note: Use the .12 gram pellets instead of the .20 gram!
