I used centramatic balancers, balances wheel regardless of tire ware.ThumbUp
Ok question here: What exactly is the centramatic balancer?? I know that I mentioned it in my first post (heck I couldn't even spell it correctly:blush::blush But I have only heard of it, on this board... I've seen the beads, I've seen the weights, but confused to what exactly that centramatic 'thingy" is
Thank you!

I use the Centramatic balancers on the front wheel because I have to install new tire every 11 - 13,000 miles due to riding in the twisties on chip/seal road most of the time. By using the Centramatic balancers, which keep the wheel balanced regardless of wear, debris in the tire, etc., I don't have to worry with beads (which I use in my ST1300) or Ride ON with the frequent tire changes. One and done!
WOW! After reading/hearing all the speeches about this product, I guess you can't go wrong with this product!
Question here again: (thanks you all) I just replaced my front tire with old fashion lead weights.. (as Of now I have ZERO miles on my new tire/ way too cold/ too ride)... If I purchase this centramatic balancer,[A] do I remove the lead weights all ready added? [B]Can I ride this tire and then replace with the centramatic balancer after I have ridden it with a 1000 miles on the tire. [C] Once this has been added to wheel I will never have to replace, balancer with another ..Correct??
Thanks guys

You can add the Centramatic any time. While it might not hurt to leave the lead weights on I would remove them simply because they are not needed and are literally "dead weight".
Correct: if you install the Centramatic balancers on the front wheel you will never have to do anything else to balance tire. If the Centramatic balancers cannot balance the tire then you've got a serious problem with the tire/wheel which needs further attention.
