From their web site at http://www.ride-on.com/motorcycle-formula-mot.html

"Balance - With one installation of Ride-On, lead weights become a thing of the past. While Ride-On works in conjunction with traditional weights, you won’t need them anymore. Ride-On is specially formulated to hydrodynamically balance high-speed tires and dampen road noise and vibrations that cause a rough ride. The great thing is Ride-On will continue to adjust and literally rebalance your tires as you ride for the legal life of the tires. So go ahead, pop off those wheel weights, shine your wheels, and enjoy the smoothest ride you have ever experienced on your bike."
I read it on the instructions that came with the product, the link you quoted is from their marketing ad. The reason they said that is a lot of people are stupid and cant follow instructions or use common sense.

I've been using the stuff for years and have posted about it here before. Eagle Rider motorcycle rentals now uses it in all their rental bikes and they have hundreds of bikes so that says allot right there. The stuff works as advertised . Period!

WOW! Not a single negative that I see--I guess I am ordering a case to put it in my bike, my truck, my cars, my Van etc. I wonder if this stuff will work on fire trucks in the desert?

Anyway--Thanks for all the comments--I appreciate it!

You may not put it in your trucks when you see how much it will cost. It's $45 or so to do 2 -16" wheels so a 20" truck tire will hold a lot.

I've got some I intended to use at the next tire change but due to other matters beyond my control right now, I won't need it as soon as I thought I would. It does have a "shelf life" and needs to be used, http://www.ride-on.com/installation.html, I bought this two years ago and right now I can not predict when I will need a new tire. My current tire has dyna beads in it and you can't mix these two products. $30 including shipping if anybody is interested. Photo below of the kit I bought.

I would find another Indy. I turned an Indy on to the stuff with my last tire install and he was so intrigued he decided to become a dealer. I won't put on another tire without it. Have had too many flats and seems like pretty cheap insurance to me.

Just bought 3 of them, or i would jump on this deal. Think i paid 15/ each at the cheapest place i found online.
If somebody finds better prices then 15 bucks, please post it.

I have Ride On in my tires and it is great stuff. Balances out the tire very well. Put it in and ride it for three or four miles for it to spread around. I put in my tires before a long trip and had the occasion to get up about 120 mph while passing some trailers and it was smooth as glass! It is available online!
