I had a guy at work tell me about this website www.innovativebalancing.com and I was wondering if anyone else heard anything about them and if anyone has used them before

 

I started using Dynabeads last year when I installed new tires front and rear. I find they work very well and I will continue to use them.

Zero issues.

 

Been using them for years.

 

I started using DynaBeads last year. I can't really tell that they are any better than lead (steel) weights but I can tell that the tires are well balanced.
The reason I installed them was because when I put E3 tires on the bike, they came back with what look like 5 pounds of weights on the rim. I hated the look and found DynaBeads to be the option that made all the ugly weights go away.
After talking to a couple of tire changers though, I've discovered that they are not fond of them, but only because they are messy when they take off a tire with DynaBeads in it.

 

When you guys started to use the DynaBeads, did you remove the lead weights from the rims?

 

Yeah, I did. That was the original intent, not to mention that soon after I had a rear tire replaced at the dealer I heard and felt a weight fly off the rear wheel.

 

I've been using these for about 12,000 miles now...without wheel weights...and have noticed that tire life has greatly improved.

I got 12K out of my stock 09 D407 rear. I now have 12K on my second D407 and looks like I can go about another 3-4K.

I will never use wheel weights on a M/C again.

 

with them did you have to use another stem or where you able to use the stock one

 

If you buy the kit, you get a dispenser bottle and section of clear plastic tubing. You remove the stem core, fill the bottle with beads and attach it to the stem with the tubing. The beads will plug up the stem so you need to tap the stem to allow the beads to drop into the tire. I use an electric engraving pencil to create vibration which loosens the beads. This is the best method. No need to change out stems at all.

 

Dunno where that comes from.. I changed my rear tire myself last time..and I reused the beads I had in the old one even.. scooped 'em out and put 'em in the new tire before I mounted it.. piece of cake..
