@@Riftwalker84 bro is on point, unlike Fortnine, I'm not saying Fortnine is bad but if i need a quick answer to go then this dude got my view count. I also watch Fortnine every time they got new uploads, their video is good, so good that it felt bad for me to skipped the ads.
As a newbie car mechanic, I agree with you. But for this video, adobomoto is teaching bikers where to stick wheel weights. The wheel might've been perfectly balanced before adobomoto demonstrated how to balance a bike wheel, so that's why there were a pair of wheel weights stuck on the mags.
I could see adding lasers to upgrade for precise placement. Personally I'm running balance beads and don't need this, but it's a well put together video!
I prefer the beads because you don't have to fumble around getting the weights just right and you don't have them on your wheel and no worries about losing any. Just pour in the beads and you're good to go. The recommended amount for my R1 is 1 gram in the front and 2 grams in the rear. I haven't had any vibration issues. Not going to lie, it's a pain to get into angled valve stems. If you're good with changing tires, you could add the beads before the tire beads are seated (i just didn't want to risk losing any). I've used beads for years without issue. I haven't heard of gel.. I'll have to look into that!
Let the wheel spin to find its heavy spot. Yea thats right but maybe take the old weights off first to get a accurate read. If you are going to give advice make sure you do it right ✅️
I really appreciate all the practical tips man. I've been riding for years (currently riding a 2014 HP4) and I still learn something new with just about every video, it makes complete sense why your channel is so successful. Thanks again bro, stay safe out there!
I see the old weights on there that are crimped to the middle, are they just regular car weights that usually crimp to the bead? or some kind of special weight?
To balance further without additional weights just file some off one sides weights that way u don’t have to add a ridiculous amount of weights, not say you did just trying to help people who might do so
No they don't. They are total dog shit. It takes them a while to distribute where they need to be, but once you go really fast, they move around evenly completely defying their purpose. Good for certain low speed applications only.
My homie did his own tires and I rode his bike cuz mine was in the shop, sure enough I got tank slaps, so cool to know how to do yourself but make sure your work is on point. You won’t feel it at 10 mph but get up to 60-75 you’ll feel the wobbles.
HELP PLEASE i have a new but left over 2022 triumph scrambler XC…..the ride is always bumpy. new paved roads are bumpy. if you were to ride this bike in a track the ride would be bumpy old paved roads are bumpy. the ride is always bumpy. my bike is a 2022, which i bought this week in june of 2023. considering it’s a left over i’m thinking it has been sitting in the showroom for a long time and one or both tires have a flat spot. as that flat spot hits the ground on every revolution, it will feel bumpy. i could be wrong but that’s the only thing i can come up with. unless the suspension needs tuning. even if the suspension needs tuning the ride should be smooth of pavement, especially a newly paved road. this is why i think it’s flat spots on the tires. have not che led the tire pressure, assuming the pressure is correct from the dealer. your thoughts ?
Iirc you only need to balance on one axis for motorcycle tires since they are through axle, narrower, and rounded, unlike car tires where it's a big flat contact patch and they are mounted at the ends of the axles. I could be wrong, however I do know that this is how they balance wheels for MotoGP and if it's good enough for race teams it's good enough for me.
Huh? I'm confused. Aren't there some weights already at the heavy point? There's something there. Also, shouldn't you put weights on the left, and right side of the rim? He only put weights on one side.
So I have heard you say revzilla isn't a good shop or that they sell cheap stuff, can you do a video on better reputable shops to get gear and parts from.
As a hopeless perfectionist I always struggle with knowing when to stop balancing. Someone has to standardize how many revs/min is more imbalance or just the aftermath of my fart.
Bro go watch KarateKruiser’s latest video titled “3 things to avoid as a beginner”. Dude literally just says “use your brain 37 times….for beginners. Someone commented “who needs advanced courses, just use your brain” & that’s funny, dude has higher standards for beginners than vets. It’s literally a drill sergeant trying to teach kindergartners but has no idea his tactics aren’t valid here. I don’t get how someone that relatively intelligent can be so tone deaf, former drill sergeant or not
Swear this guy's got the best moto content on RUclips rn
yea he deserves to have more subscribers
Hell yeah FAM

On lengthier content I'd say Fortnine is king.

Stop the 🧢he didnt mentioned how to notice the error he skipped that most important part!!!
Love that you're not static. Keep moving brother!
Step 0: Remove your old wheel weights before you start…
he was proving a point 😂

how do you like those vs traditional external and have you considered the gel?

Looks like I'm going to buy a static wheel balancer soon!
You can use a couple of jack stands and your axle to do the same job for free
@@wymonwatson1309this was the life hack im looking for 😂
Love the content and the shorts, keep it up!
You already had weights just where the heavy point was, you could start off by removing them
Oh no. You're suppose to keep adding to it until you run out of room.
Its probably just for reference so he can demonstrate an out of balance wheel
well the title said "How to balance motorcycle wheels" not "How to fixed unbalanced wheels"
Lots of motorcycles have weights on the wheels… go to dealerships and look around for 5 mins
@@roscoe4092 i doubt i need wheel weights for balance, i buy track tires
You’re on top of my list for moto content thank you.
Let the wheel spin to find its heavy spot. Yea thats right but maybe take the old weights off first to get a accurate read.
If you are going to give advice make sure you do it right ✅️
It’s a demo that’s a 60sec short. I leave things out so you experts can chime in
Sure, he's gonna fuck his wheel balance up just so you can't complain
Definitely needed this because the dealership or anyplace would charge so much for a simple tire change and balance
The piece of mind is worth it in my opinion.
$80 a piece
You are also going to want to put the adhesive of the weight onto the rim, and not onto a lot of dust in between.
Bro your videos is the best and the most helpful I have ever seen I like your character I like when you talk poo poo on Gxer riders LOOL

I always just use balance beads. They actually work pretty well at any speed.

Bro you’re awesome
Noah, you’re awesome. Thanks for the arc
That looks like a gsxr wheel. Good video .
Which side do the weights go on after you remove the old ones?
Motion pro weights are nice
Nice
HE WAS PROVING A POINT
This may be a dumb question but why do you balance your tires? I'm new to riding motorcycles and can't find much online.
Imagine a fan spinning with one blade made of iron
@@adobomoto I think I get you. Thanks

As a new rider, I was going to get some weights and a balancer after seing this video, then I saw the comments
Maybe easier to mark the lightest point 12 clock because that’s the place you need to add weights. Just a tip
What happens if wheel is imbalanced ?
I have a Honda 500x
For use in city and highway touring
Very lill off road
Good content. Not many talk about this..
appreciate the video! Thanks man!
HELP PLEASE
i have a new but left over 2022 triumph scrambler XC…..the ride is always bumpy. new paved roads are bumpy.
if you were to ride this bike in a track the ride would be bumpy
old paved roads are bumpy.
the ride is always bumpy.
my bike is a 2022, which i bought this week in june of 2023.
considering it’s a left over i’m thinking it has been sitting in the showroom for a long time and one or both tires have a flat spot.
as that flat spot hits the ground on every revolution, it will feel bumpy.
i could be wrong but that’s the only thing i can come up with.
unless the suspension needs tuning.
even if the suspension needs tuning the ride should be smooth of pavement, especially a newly paved road. this is why i think it’s flat spots on the tires.
have not che led the tire pressure, assuming the pressure is correct from the dealer.
your thoughts ?
Thx m8!
Oooh, lemme try that on my 110 cc moped. I'm a newbie car mechanic who's experimenting car stuff on my small bike. 😅
Excellent 👍👌
Good video. But you should have just removed one of the wheel weights that was on the heavy side.
It wasn’t even the same wheel. Just a demo. But yeah definitely remove the wheel weights first
Remember this is only balancing the wheel in one axis
Good thing tyres only spin on one axis then.
Iirc you only need to balance on one axis for motorcycle tires since they are through axle, narrower, and rounded, unlike car tires where it's a big flat contact patch and they are mounted at the ends of the axles.
I could be wrong, however I do know that this is how they balance wheels for MotoGP and if it's good enough for race teams it's good enough for me.
What is the purpose of wheel balancing?
Kudos my man ride safe..
Huh? I'm confused. Aren't there some weights already at the heavy point? There's something there. Also, shouldn't you put weights on the left, and right side of the rim? He only put weights on one side.
Nice Thanks
Good to know
What about dynamic balance
So I have heard you say revzilla isn't a good shop or that they sell cheap stuff, can you do a video on better reputable shops to get gear and parts from.
I only use tungsten wheel weights
Thanks man✌️
Not good enough for high speeds though )left and right ?)
My weights have fallen of my new z650 today. Why is this important to keep on ?
But what if the tire has a bubble?
but, Can you juggle three tires at once?
Got a link for us Adobo?
mate my bike tilts to the right even though the bike goes in a straight line… can’t figure out the issue
Harbor freight has a cheap one for $50, I can’t see the lead beading more then a few bucks.
I’m new to motorcycles. Why is it important to balance your wheels?
Is rotate the wheels inside the Rubber to Balance it, a good idea
? 😮
Como sabes quantos pesos precisas
Do you have the link to the static wheel balancer? Or which one do you recommend?
Harbor freight
U welcome
Why don't you just buy balancing beads?
Static
,,It’s one of the easiest things to do“ And somehow I always mess it up
Good shit to know!
He didn't even make a joke about GSXR riders using that balancer rod for other purposes.
Just make sure you clean the area first you'll shoot that weight at some random passer by
I got tire question speeds 164+
Tire store - thatll be 150 sir 😂
it's better to take it to a professional tyre fitter imo, they have precision equipment to do this
Best thing harbor freight has to offer for 50$ and don't forget ur 20% coupon!😁
👌👌👌🏍️🏍️🏍️🔥🔥🔥💨💨💨
As a hopeless perfectionist I always struggle with knowing when to stop balancing. Someone has to standardize how many revs/min is more imbalance or just the aftermath of my fart.
But why should I balance it ???
But how much weight??😮
Why not just put balance beads in it?
Before adding new weights, REMOVE THE OLD WEIGHTS
Why in HELL do you have wheel weights on opposite sides?!!
Bro why you balance on 2 sides 💀
One side & done🤷🏻♂️

Not bad. But, clean your wheel first
Change your own coolant tutorial when
Remove the old weight first!!!

Finally something useful bro!!! Jk

Wheels can be out of balance from side to side too...
