What Are Motorcycle Wheel Balancers?
Motorcycle wheel balancers are essential tools used for ensuring the proper balance of tires and wheels. They are specifically designed to detect imbalances in weight and variations in size. This makes them crucial for adjusting the balance once the tire and wheel are assembled, a process that is mandatory every time a tire is replaced.
Failure to properly balance a motorcycle’s wheels can significantly increase the risk of traffic accidents, particularly in severe cases. Thus, a wheel balancer is employed to adjust this balance accurately, with the tire already inflated with air.
Wheel balance adjustments are not only necessary when replacing old tires with new ones but also when transitioning between different types of tires, such as from summer to winter tires, among other scenarios.
