I am guessing there is something else amiss here.

I did have the shake before I put them in. I was trying to get rid of it. It sounds like I have a different problem. It sure comes in and fades out when accellerating like a tire out of balance on a car.

I have been using dyna beads for awhile now and they seemed to work good until recently I put a metzler on the front that was made in Brazil ,I put over 2 oz's(closer to 3 oz's) of dyna beads in the tire trying to get rid of the hop,I even moved the tire 180 degrees on the rim but it still would not balance,ended up removing the dyna beads and took it in and had it spin balanced ,the tire took 4oz's of weight to balance and is smooth now,so the way I see it if the tire is manufactured properly and is close to begin with the beads work ,if the tire doesn't seem to want to balance it is better to take it in and have them spin balance it,it most likely needs lots of weight.

The 09's have a problem with the dunlop compound in the tire the dealer will replace it if you tell them it's vibrating

bwdogman. thanks for the tip. I believe I will get an appointment and take it in. I does feel like a tire problem to me.

If soap or any other lubricator (when tire was installed) got inside the tire, it can cause the Dyna Beads to clump.

Also, there are factory markings on the tires that you should have lined up with the valve stem. When lined up properly, your wheel , in most cases won't take more than 3 oz. to balance.

I took it back and the service manager took it for a ride and when he came back he said lets replace that front tire. They replaced it and rode it again. When he came back the second time he said it was much better but still not right. He told the mechanic to bring a new 2010 bike in and take the front wheel off it and put it on my bike. Third test ride and he said we got it. I rode it 200 miles this afternoon and its as smooth as glass.
