3.2
Using the Wheel Balancer
3.2.1 use the balancer on a stable, level surface. If necessary
adjust the feet until the bubble level is central. Screw the leg
nuts tight to the base to secure the legs.
3.2.2 Slide the balancer spindle through the motorcycle wheel
hollow axle and slide a cone onto either end of the spindle so
that the tapered ends enter the wheel bearings. When the
wheel is central on the spindle, secure the cones by
tightening the grub screw in each using a 3mm hex key.
check that the wheel is central on the spindle and firmly
secured by the cones for best results. At either end of the
spindle slide on the two circular stops, then place onto the
bearings on the two uprights. Move the stops to the outer
ends of the spindle but allow a small gap clearance to avoid
the bearing securing screws interfering with the spindle
movement. Tighten the grub screw within the stops to secure
them to the spindle. See fig.3
3.2.3 With the wheel securely on the wheel balancer, gently rotate
the wheel. When the wheel settles, the spot at the bottom of
the wheel is the "heavy spot."
3.2.4 now with the heavy spot at the bottom mark the top of the
wheel directly opposite the heavy spot using chalk or
adhesive tape. This is the "light spot" see fig.4A.
3.2.5 Gently spin the wheel again to ensure that the heavy spot will
again settle at the bottom. (fig.4)
3.2.6 Attach some wheel weights to the rim of the wheel at the
"light spot" (fig.4A) and spin the wheel gently.
3.2.7 If the "light spot" falls to the bottom, too much weight has
been added to the wheel. If the heavy spot falls to the bottom,
not enough weight has been added to the wheel. Add /
remove weight as required (fig.5)
3.2.8 Turn the "light spot" 90 degrees so it sits horizontally with the
heavy spot and observe its movements, if again it falls to the
bottom, too much weight has been added, if the "heavy spot"
falls, too little weight has been added. (fig.5)
3.2.9 repeat until the light spot and heavy spot are on a horizontal
line through the centre of the wheel. once this has been
achieved the wheel should rest still at any position through
the wheels circumference.
