Does FOBO equal new tire balancing?

[nealperkins]

Seems like a worthy add on but I wonder if I need to rebalance the tires?
Thanks

No need to rebalance

Don't know. ..!!

Don't know any one that has checked if you need to..but most don't...how much does the unit weigh..? :dontknow:

:agree: ...... Maybe on an F-1 or Nascar stocker but I doubt the Spyder needs to split that hair ...... Mike :thumbup:

from personal experience, No

Each one weighs ounces (if that)

Grams , if it was in ounces, tire would have to re-balanced ................ Mike :thumbup:

Use dynamic balancing with beads or Ride-On and you won't have to worry.
I doubt they will throw things off.

A rider on the FJR1300 forum weighed them at 7 grams each.
A quarter of an ounce.

Yes Sir. That is what I meant. Thanks for clarifying :2thumbs:

Would using this stuff damage the FOBO? I'm sure that using green slime would not be good for the FOBO.

From my experience no rebalance required.

It might, IF the green slime was actually outside the tire valve - but unless you've done it reeeally wrong, there's not gonna be green slime out there!! The FOBO sensors fit on the valve stem like an alternative valve cap, & cos the slime gets thrown out onto the rubber bits while you drive, while the valve is mounted on the rim, the only stuff ever likely to get out thru those valves is air.... I generally use the green slime stuff in my tires & have similar valve mounted sensors, & it's never caused me a problem on any of the vehicles I've used these things on (quite a few) or over the many MANY miles (waaaaaay more than most!) that I've driven/ridden with them fitted. Haven't needed to re-do the balance or wheel alignment due to fitting the valve sensors either! Just Sayin' :dontknow:

Ryde more, Worry less!! :thumbup:

I had mine checked when I got new rear tire on my 2015 Rt on problem.
