[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 948537, member: 615"] The wheel may be the cause of a significant imbalance. My front wheel requires 4-1/2 weights (1-1/8 ounce) to balance without a tire mounted. The bare rear wheel requires less than 1 weight to balance. For my last front tire change I removed and installed the tire with irons. But I cheated a bit. After I installed the first bead of the new tire I took the wheel and tire to a local shop and they installed the remaining bead with their machine. I took it from there and inflated it at home and then balanced it with a Parnes. I was at the shop less than 10 minutes and they said "no charge this time". This is an independent shop and it deals almost exclusively with Harleys. The tire iron jujutsu is fairly easy except for that last bead install. I took the easy way out this time. [/QUOTE]
