The centerstand is underneath the center part of the motorcycle. Read the owner’s manual for more specific instructions on how to engage it.
Dynamic balancers are also available. These devices test your wheel electronically. They’re more expensive and often used in tire and repair shops.
A magnetic level is your best option because it sticks to the balancer’s bar.
As long as the cones are wedged into the wheel’s axle holes, the tire will stay in place when you spin it later.
Although you can clean the wheel at any time, it’s easier after placing it on the balancer. You can easily reach all sides and the wheel won’t collect extra debris before the test. Debris also includes old wheel weights. Always pull off any old weights before attempting to balance the wheel. You can also use nail polish remover to treat stubborn debris, including adhesive residue from old weights.
You may also mark this point with chalk. Mark this low point by drawing a small line on the tire.
Wheel weights generally come in 5 g (0. 18 oz) and 10 g (0. 35 oz) sizes. Non-adhesive wheel weights wrap around the spokes and screw shut. These are less liable to come loose, but they are more expensive.
Clean the wheel as necessary to remove any adhesive debris.
Test the wheel by moving the taped end to different points and letting go of the wheel. Also spin the wheel gently so it turns 2 or 3 times. The heavier side should not fall back to the bottom.
If you use the more expensive screw-on weights, you should have already attached them to the tire. Wrap them around the spokes, then slide the screws into the slots on their backs to hold them in place.
