Oh my... lower psi in car tires on Spyder's really works!

I put Continental ContactPro front and Altimaz T43 on the rear at about 2 k miles on the Kenda from factory. I drove 43K miles on the Continental but changed the rear Altimaz T43 two times. I now have Vredestein Quatrac 5 on the front and Vredestein Sprint on the rear. All tires were inflated to 18 PSI front and 20 PSI rear at all times. I had the new Vredestein tires installed by a Can-Am dealership. They put a fluid balancer in the tires. That works great, except, I let the bike sit for 10 months when I broke my hip. I'm riding again, short trips, 60 miles mostly because of the heat. Now that it's cooler, I'll ride longer rides. Never been to North Dakota.

My question is, will the liquid balancer always work perfectly? When I am on a local asphalt road, there is a slight shake in the front tires. On the Interstate, only the fenders seem to shake just a tiny bit. Does that mean my balancing fluid is somehow not working perfectly? Can it be removed and metal balanced? Should I worry?

Nope They have a high paid "engineer" to figure that out. Before we had them hacks we used a pyrometer and tread depth gauge.

Yeah chalk on sidewall for autocrossing works to help find the right pressure. I also used to use ice water spray to cool the tires down between runs esp in the hot SE summer.
