Balance beads
With Balance beads or the ride on sealant/balancer liquid does the bike have to be lifted off the ground to get the product into the tires?
Or simply leave bike on kickstand and deflate the tires and install?
Thanks guys

Do you deflate the tire all the way before pulling the valve core?
I noticed some of the kits come with new valve cores, but the one you take out can just be screwed back in right?
Thanks guys

I wonder if they've made a similar torsional vibration damper for the engine to replace the clunky mechanical compensator ramp and clutch system? Even the biggest diesel engines with huge torsional firing pulses use torsional vibration dampers with silicone fluid. Different machine element, but same problem (torsional imbalance vibration).

For informational purposes, Harley, in the owners manual, states, do not use balance beads, or the like in wheels with TPMS sensors.

That's interesting - what do they do on other vehicles with TPMS that don't get balance weights like big trucks?

That's a good idea, didn't know it existed - thanks.
