Have any of you guys ever used Dyna Beads to balance your tires instead of traditional weights? A guy at work uses these on his Big Dog Chopper and he loves them.

They work really good.....or you can use Ride-On, it balances the tire and seals punctures

hmmm that Ride-On stuff looks pretty good too. I think having something that both balances the tire and seal punctures would be great!

I will let you know, I'm trying to figure out how many bags I need per tire.

The web page said 1oz for the front and 2oz for the rear.

That Ride-On looks pretty darn nice! - anyone use this?

Looks like we need 3 bottles... 1 8oz for the front and 2 for the rear..?

Thanks Duff,
I was on amazon trying to order, no chart there. I went to the Dyna beads website and still ended up ordering through Amazon.

I'm not happy with the dyna beads and i will not use them again. I've learned that nothing works better at balancing tires than conventional wheel weights

Did they just not balance it correctly or cause other issues? I have a full tire machine and balancer (including the motorcycle attachments) in my garage, but I have always been curious about those beads.

The beads worked great initially for my Avon 240. After I had to install a patch plug kit on that tire I never could get the beads to balance it out again. I think some of the beads stuck to the glue on the patch and it messed the balance up. So the shop added wheel weights take care of the problem. The mechanic told me that nothing works better than conventional lead weights

****... you're brave plugging a motorcycle tire to begin with... lol. I would never run a plugged tire on a bike. A car is one thing, if a tire goes down you have 3 others. If a tire goes down on a bike, you most likely are too... lol. But either way, good to know.

No place to add the lead weights to my PM wheels without gluing them on. My Yami dealer says I don't need them because the PM wheel is machined from billet and tires made today for bike vary little in balance. No problems so far for me.

The newer style patch/plug kits are pretty good. I picked up a nail in my Avon 240 within two weeks of putting it on. I wasn't about to toss that in the trash. So far I have almost 6,000 miles on it with zero issues. Now if it had been the front tire that would be a different story…
