5.1.
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.
5.2.
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. See fig.3
5.3.
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.
5.4.
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.
5.5.
Gently spin the wheel again to ensure that the heavy spot will
again settle at the bottom. (fig.4)
5.6.
Attach some wheel weights to the rim of the wheel at the light
spot (fig.4A) and spin the wheel gently.
5.7.
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)
5.8.
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)
5.9.
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.
