Yes. I highly recommend them. Makes the tire as smooth as glass.

 

I also highly recommend them. I had new tires mounted last fall and they are smooth as glass. I don't think I'll ever use anything else.

 

Ditto the above posts.

 

Yup, lots of folks here use them. Actually, they've often been a topic for lasting debates. I use them, and I love them.

Do a search on this forum for them, and you'll pull up a lot of threads.

I would like to offer up an alternative that i've found and am currently using in my bike. "Counteract Balancing Beads".

I wouldn't presume to make a suggestion as to where you should get it, but i do think you should research what's out there and make a decision on your own as to which product you want and where to get it.

My point to this is that i found the Counteract product to be MUCH more cost effective than the Innovative Balancing product. I bought a 1-pound bag for about the cost of a 5-ounce Dyna Beads kit. I now have enough beads left over for a number of tire changes.

Just saying... the beads work great, wouldn't you like to get more for your money?

 

For half ton or larger? My bike is way too small.

 

do it.

 

Been there - done that. The beads work great! Some will call them snake oil, but really don't have their facts straight. They do work! Go for it.

 

We had very good results with Dyna Beads on our last tire change on the Valk. Up to 100mph she was as smoooooooth as can be. It is said that if one should have to deflate the tire and/or remove the valve stem core, the Dyna Beads become a pain. That may be, but there are very few circumstances which compel one to intentionally deflate a tire or remove a valve stem. We heartily recommend the Dyna Beads; and we plan to use them when we put new rubber on the Beast.

We trudge on.

 

I get every motorcycle magizine out there and they all HIGHLY recommend these...

 

beauty!! definetly gonna use em!! thanks all!!

 

Use caution when putting ANY solid object inside your tires.
According to the Dunlop website putting any thing (we had this same discussion a few months ago,(and then a few months before that) so I'm not diggin for the link again, do a search) inside of their tires voids their warranty.

 

Yeah, but Dunlops are borderline defective straight from the factory, anyway.

 

Im sure every company isn't going to let it void their warranty though...

 

Buy them, install them enjoy them.

 

How many ounces of beads are you using in each tire?

My bike is 2 rear 1 front.

 

I'm on my third set of Goldwing tires using Dyna-beads, so obviously I am pleased with them. I spoon on my own tires and this makes the balancing a snap for the DIYer. The naysayers are usually the ones that have never tried them. A rider friend of mine, not convinced yet, that rides a GL1800 replaced his front wheel with a chromed one. It looks pretty with the exception of his "stick on" wheel weights. It seems like every time I walk past his parked wing I notice his gleaming chrome wheel and then I zoom in on those ugly lead weights. Looks like poop on a white hen's rear....!

 

I put in airsoft BB's when I replaced my tubeless tires. (1oz front, 2oz back)

 

Quick question: How many of you use them in tubed tires? The web site says that they are fine in with tubes, but I'm a little cautious. Any testimonials, good or bad?

 

They run just fine in tubed or tubeless tires, it matters not.

 

My buddy runs them and loves them.

 

I used them in a tubed tire. No problem.

 

I am guessing using green slime to do an emergency flat tire repair is out of the question. What about plugging a tire? Would the beads have to be removed before you can plug a tire?

 

That's a good question. Seems to me the beads will stick to the plug, but maybe not enough to make a difference in balance. I guess for an emergency situation, I'd go ahead and plug it to get home and take the tire off then to see what happened then.

 

I use Dyna Beads in my tubes and I've had no troubles at all. The tires spin true. From 10 mph to 95+ mph.

If you have tube-less tires, you wouldn't want to use a liquid tire sealer for obvious reasons. The beads need to move freely to work properly. A liquid of any kind will hamper the movement of the beads in the tire. Using a plug may cause a problem if a sizable number of beads were to stick to it. A out-of-balance condition may occur. But I don't think it would be so great a problem that you couldn't make it to a repair facility and have the problem corrected.8)

If you do a tire repair with a plug, you should take the tire off at some point and remove the excess plug on the inside of the tire. My 2¢

 

I just ordered new tires, just shipped today. I'll be trying the Dynabeads this time.

One question -- and I didn't see this mentioned on their website, or this forum -- when installing the Dynabeads, should they go in before inflating the tire? Or after some air is put in, or what? How the heck do those little beads get in there, anyway???

In my case (Aero 750) I'll be putting on new tubes, too.

I know, I know this may be a dumb question, but I'm hoping to do it right the first time for a change! :-?

Thanks.
