Wheel weights?
#21
Thats pretty cool stuff! I talked to someone about it. I talked to a tire tech about it. He said the down side of it is that in cold days its going to be solid inside and will take a while to heat up, cause my motorcycle to shake. And probable more so that i have a lighter framed sportster. Hmmmm. I was really thinking of getting it. Now im torn.
I believe it becomes a gel like substance once it "cures" and it doesn't move around in the tire any more after that. The effective temperature ranges have to do with the sealing ability, not the balancing effect.
But I'm no expert.

I took the advice of getting this stuff. I ordered the 3 pack from the link provided. So i will be putting it in when i have a day off
Im a little confused on a couple of things. 1. Is the tires metric or standard? Im thinking standard but im not to sure. 2. Is the the tires tubless or have a tube? 3. According to the chart above my tires size would be what?<br/>Front tire: 90×54×21<br/>Rear: 150×80×16<br/>.....to put in the calculator? Just unsure on those things. But putting the stuff according to the video seems pretty easy!

Ride On recommends a 25% increase to the severe dosage level if you're using Ride On for balancing without wheel weights or using it in tubed tires. Running without weights or if your tires are tubed just follow the severe dosage recommendations.

Select 'motorcycle' in vehicle type and put in the tire sizes and hit 'calculate'.
Your front is an MH90-21 which is the same typical size as an 80/90-21. Following the dosage calculator that would be 6 ounces.
The rear is a 150/80-16; again in the calculator that would be 11 ounces.
Install, remove the wheel weights, clean off the residue from the wheels and enjoy...

How did you get 80/90-21? Im not sure how to calculate mh90 21. It doesnt have a 3rd number to compute into the calculator. And im not sure if its metric or a standar tire. How do u determine that? And still unsure of the tube or tubless thing as well.

So, MH90-21 = 80/90-21
If you see a MJ90, it's 90/90 (out there looking for tires)
It's a "TL" Tubeless tire that can be run with a tube

MH90-21 is the same thing as 80/90-21. If you have the 21" spoke wheel that comes standard on the Sportster 72's, then there is a tube in it. Spoke wheels require a tube.
