Most times, I don't even balance mine. Not enough unsprung weight there to worry about.
try Ride On http://www.ride-on.com/motorcycle-formula-mot.htmlworks well for me and the added bonus of a sealant for punctures. Works in both tube and tubeless. Washes or wipes out easy.....Mark
Unless you balance with the wheels mounted it's a halfway job.
Get the best balance job you can, after that mount the wheels and with the bike on the center stand see what happens when you run it in gear at anything over a few miles per hour. That balance job suddenly appears rather useless. Unless you balance with the wheels mounted it's a halfway job. The pebbles that might get stuck in the tread discount the balance too.As far as wheel bearings go, those wheels are hopping up and down like crazy unless you are riding on smooth blacktop anyway. People are riding on road, off-road, over bumps and hitting dips, the balance isn't what is going to do your bearings in.

With the tires off the rims, balance the rims. Since doing that, I had not moved weights in years. Putting the dot at the valve stem means the tire/rim is balanced. And yes, I have checked the balance after mounting the tire.
What!!!!!! Am I the only guy still wrapping solder around the spokes?
