Ride-on tire sealant-balancer

[fishcraz]

Is anyone using the ride-on product in their tires on an RT? If so how much do you put in front tires vs rear tire? I order some today and hope to add tp my tires this weekend. Picked up our 2011 RT-Limited about 2 weeks ago. There seems to be considerable vibration from tires on this ride vs our 2010 RT-S Limited. So hoping this will help balance the tires...
the web site for the ride-on product indicates it will smooth out any balance issues you may have, along with providing a sealant agent in the
event of a punction..so hopefully no flats...hopefully.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer on doesage for the tires.

:agree: I have 1,000 miles since adding it and it does make a difference. Glad I took Lamonts advice (again).

I have Ride-on in the RT and trailer tires. I bought it from the dealer so I don't know how much they put in.

Well...I added Ride-on to my 2011 RT-Limited tires today and rode
for about 35 miles. Can't say I'm happy at this point. The vibration is
even worse...especially in the front tires. The fenders are vibrating terrible, as well as the mirrors and me. I had hoped this would take care
of the vibration in the front that I have been experiencing since we got
the bike about 3 weeks ago. Our 2010 RTS had no vibration....very smooth ride. So we'll see...but right now thinking I may have to now
pay to have the tires unmounted, clean out the Ride-on and hope for
balancing.

It would have seem to me that you should have made the dealer address this problem seeing you have just biught the :spyder2: If it that bad you might have a bent rim

It is fairly common that the vibration is worse while the Ride On is distributing itself into the proper area of the tires.. Remember it goes in as a blob and it takes sometime to distribute so it would be more out of balance than to begin with.. make your evaluation after at least 100 miles and I feel confident you will be happy.. I sure am with mine!!!!!!

Thanks.....Duane

The Ride-On chart advises 8 oz for each tire---that is 1 16 oz bottle.
Make sure you have removed your wheel weights. They are no longer needed with the Ride-On.

Removed the wheel weights last evening. Did not get out to ride again
and see if removing the weights helped with the vibrations. Hopefully
will try tonight. Will let folks know if the vibration went away.

Thanks for all the comments,

I had a horrible vibration when I first installed Ride-On in my RS. I removed the wheel weights and it only made a slight improvement. I blamed it on Ride-On and then I found out it was due to both front rims being bent!

 

[fishcraz]

I have to admitt, we've only had this Spyder about a month and the vibration has been there since day one. Unlike the 2010 we had which
was very smooth. I'm hoping it's not the wheels, but thinking it may be
now. Especially after removing the wheel weights last evening...there were many weights on the right front tire. Way more than it should take
to balance any decent tire. So thinking it may be due to bent wheel or
wheels....but will wait before I judge on that. But no matter what,
on a new bike, I shouldn't have to be concerned with these things....get time to mount up and ride so be the only issue.

When the local tire place discovered the bent rims, they said it was common due to the size of the rims and the Michigan potholes. In addition, the rims are made in China.
