WHEEL BALANCE
NOTE :
Carefully check balance before installing the wheel
.
The wheel balance
must
be checked when the tire is
remounted
.
For optimum balance , the tire balance mark [ 1 ] ( light
mass point : a paint dot on the side wall )
must
be
located next to the valve stem [ 2 ]
,
Remount the tire if
necessary
.
Note the rotating direction marks [ 1 ] on the tire , and
upon tire installation , always fit the tire so the marks
face the same direction
.
Mount the wheel , tire and brake disc assembly on an
inspection stand
.
Spin the wheel
,
allow it to stop , and mark the lowest
( heaviest ) part of the wheel with chalk .
Do this 2 or 3 times to verify the
heaviest area
.
If the wheel is balanced , it will not stop consistently in
the same position .
To balance the wheel , install a new balance weight on
the lightest side of the rim , on the side opposite the
chalk marks . Add just enough weight so the wheel will
no longer stop in the same position when it is spun .
Do not add more than 60 g ( 2.1 oz ) to the wheel
.
