I run dynabeads in my sportbike. Good to 190mph. As usual not the products problem but the user or installation.
People need to follow directions and do their research before bashing a product.
It gets old. From radios to tires there are a bunch of people bashing products because they didn't install correctly or set up right. My. 02

If you are putting 4 oz of any kind of weight to a tire, and it doesn't balance, your issue is somewhere else.

Am running Elite 3 @ rear. Bike has almost 39K miles. Front is original Dunlop 402, down to 2/32", ordered Michelin Commander II to replace both.

My pops has been using them on all three of his bikes, bout three years now. ZERO problems.

Sorry they aren't working for you, something is obviously wrong.

I would raise and spin the front wheel and check side to side run out. Also check for rim damage. 1 oz of beads is recommended for front wheel. They will correct for light spot on circumference but do nothing for side to side.

I also have nothing bad to say about Dyna Beads. Been running them in bikes, cars and trucks and never had an issue. I am with the others in saying that it sounds like you may have an underlying issue.

I like the idea of the Dynabeads but I use RideOn because it also seals punctures as well as balances. Good product.

This is the first bad comment I've read on Dynabeads so like others have mentioned...there may be another issue elsewhere.

I thought the same thing when I tried them on my Ultra, found out that the bead didn't fully seat. Broke it down, relubed the bead & the bead seated, no more problem.

You could also have a bad tire. It could be out of round and no amount of dynabeads or wheel weights will fix it.
