I installed a new Metzler 240 this weekend but did not balance it. Not sure if there really is a need being that it is on the back of the bike. What about you guys? What are your thoughts?

I used Dynabeads in my Pirelli 240.

My Avon 250 is balanced, can't see why ya wouldn't, should prolong the life of the tire and smooth out the ride

Mine was put on without balancing it's a 250 Dunlop. By the time I realized it wasn't balanced it was back on, no issues yet? I will probabaly get some beads.

I'm gonna pick up some Ride on today. I have a $10 coupon at my local dealership and they have it in stock. This plus my 15% discount for buying my Stryker from them will put me at $15 for two bottles. Not too bad.

That's a great deal! I'd pick-up a 3rd bottle while you're at it so you can do the front tire too. The front takes 8oz and the 240 takes 15oz

That stuff just squirts in the tire while its already on right??

I had my 240 balanced when tire was installed. No vibrations even at speedo pegged speeds ;D

word...just let the air out and remove the valve-core. Squeeze the appropriate amount of that stuff in there, re-install the valve-core and re-inflate.

you guys dont need a balancer to balance the wheel all ya need to do is know the heavist part will always rotate to the bottom my vote is to never spray anything into my tire

Dyna beads are what i used in the past, they balance through the life of the tire. I used them on my shadow and one of my CBR F4i's, reading info on ride on now. May have to try it out on stock and see which one to go with when i wear it out and do a 240.

The best thing i like of these options is it balances as you ride --- for the life of the tire and ride on acts as a tire sealent sort of like like slime but without the mess. And no weights are needed for the rim
