Well, my 0.02, I wanted to believe in the dynabeads, researched all that my feeble mind could absorb, thought it all sounded reasonable.
Ordered some, then on to my unscientific, uncontrolled laboratory enviroment attempt to see how they worked.
Personal experience, ’97 Connie. Front wheel had stick on weights. About a thousand miles on the tire, no issues, hands on, hands off, any speeds. Marked and removed external wheel weights and installed, as per recommendation, 1 oz of dyna beads in the front tire. Around town speeds (up to 50-55mph), a little vibration in the front tire that was not present before. Got on the interstate, 65mph and faster, very heavy vibration through the front tire, scary heavy. After I returned home, I removed the wheel and took it to the local motorcycle shop (Cyclegear, where I used to be employed) for a spin balance check on the computerized machine with the dynabeads still in the tire, no external weights. Spun it up a few times to be sure/consistency. Hmmm, took the same amount of weight in the same spot as before, with the dyna beads in the tire, what gives? Re-installed weights, reinstalled wheel, test run, smooth as glass all speeds/roads. Not sold on working in the front tire.
Rear tire, I did an unscientific and probably hazardous on bike, test. Rear tire had stick on weights installed, but there was a slight vibration, visibly noticeable last time bike was on a dyno, you could see it “hopping” ever so slightly. Never really could feel it when riding though. Installed dynabeads, 2oz in rear tire, wheel weights still on, on the centerstand (attention; do not attempt this on your motorcycle, it is UNSAFE
front tire chocked, centerstand secured. Started the bike and clicked it into 6th gear, ran the bike up, (no, I don’t remember the exact rpm, somewhere between 3500-4000) rear tire still exhibited visible movement, about an inch maybe? OK, trying to give a benefit of doubt, maybe the external weights are messing with the dynabead karma, so removed weights, dynabeads in the tire. Ran her up again, heck no, way uber worse, almost thought the bike would bounce off the centerstand. Put weights back on, back to “normal”. So based on my personal experience on my bike with the tires on it at the time, no joy. I did not want to remove the wheel and test on the CG machine based on the front tire results, and now, the shop is closed.
I really wanted them to work, just didnt get the evidence that they did, on my bike.
