Counteract Kit D Motorcycle Balancing Beads - Kit D 2oz/2oz

This was a fairly crappy process actually if the bottle was a little bigger it would have been easier but it wasn't that bad if u follow what they say on instructions it's prirty easy hahah, all u gotta do it push n pull alittle air in tube once u half fill it or less and I was just making the beads bounce and that worked good but if u had a bigger bottle and maybe longer tube it could be way easier but awsome product if u don't want the ugly weights

These ceramic beads work great. My motorcycle ride has smoothed out noticeably and has really increased my ability to ride in the twisties. Some what of a challenge to install. Patience is very, very important. Some guys said to put the valve stem at the bottom and use an air compressor to very lightly blow them in when they clog up. Air - yes, clog up, oh, - hell yes, valve stem at the bottom, no, no, no. They will go in way faster and easier if you place the valve stem about ¼ of the way up. It went real quick after I discovered that. Poor em in and enjoy your ride, your worries are over. I won't ever use lead weights again.P.S. if you spill these, you can't even imagine the places these can roll too.

I started feeding it through the valve stem, gave up and just dumped the rest of the bottle inside the tire itself. Had to break the bead but so worth it.

These are an absolute pain and inconvenience to install through the valve stem. The hose fits very loosely on the bottle and the valve stem. I had 2 disconnections during my attempt, resulting in about 1/4in of beads in the hose scattered on my shop floor. You about need a second person or 1/4in hose clamps to hold the tube in place at both connections, as you use your 2nd hand to operate a vibrator of some sort- I used my wife’s hammydown hair clippers, which are highly effective for this purpose! Then I opened my 2nd bag and reattempted, with my 2nd disconnection, resulting in minimal loss of beads.Since I’m out 2 bags of beads, I ordered ‘Ride-On’ - the tire gel sealant and balancer. I’ll put the gel in my front tire and hopefully, the rear is smooth. If not, I’ll remove the rear wheel/beads, and add the gel to the rear as well.The Ride On is twice as expensive as these beads, but the install will be simple as can be; and there won’t be hundreds of tiny beads all over the place.I am done with beads! LolUpdate March 28, 2022: So i upgraded these from one star to three. I put on 250 miles since the install. I did lose about 1/4in of beads inside the hose that fell to the floor. However, my 240/40-18 rear wheel still seems balanced and I can’t discern any abnormal conditions. I’ll keep these for the time being but in the future, will only use Ride-On.

Seem to take a while to balance sometimes, like they have settled. Were hell to get in, had to break my bead to put them in as they wouldn't go through the valve stem, then got some on the bead by accident and had to break it again as they made it leak.
