Changing tires
When you take your wheels off to take to indy for tire change, do you remove the sprocket and rotors?

No they need the rotors and sprocket on for wheel balancing

On the changer I use, the sprocket needs to come off for the demount bar to clear.

I guess it depends on what type of changer.

I took my IDS sprocket with me the last time I bought a tire, but they said they could not balance with it on. Said it wouldn't fit on the machine.

. . .I thought I read the tires have a mark on them to correspond to a spot on the rim (valve stem??) so that no balancing is required. . .?

The tire and rim would have to be perfectly true for that to work.
