Ride on and balancing
I put it in my 3 tires about 10 weeks ago. Had to take the weights off, it was still pretty rough and every wheel had lots of weights. Bike had 10.000 miles. It got better with no weights, but still vibrated some at 53 or so. Rear was getting towards the end, at 12,500, so replaced it with a Kumho 225x50x15 H Ecsta AST and added Ride-on and no weights. As I suspected, it smoothed out perfectly. The original (junk) tire had from 3 mm to 5 mm in the very middle and I hoped that was the problem and it seems it was. Front tires still have 5 mm, almost 6 mm left in them at 13,200. Kumho is a good compromise all the way around - relatively inexpensive, directional, rides like a champ, seems to be giving better mileage to present users and readily available. 2or 3 work days from order till it was delivered to the dealer for me. The old Ride-on looked ugly when the tire was dismounted, but as they promised, it's water soluble and wasn't a problem at all. I'll probably go with Kumhos on the front when present ones get down to 2mm. Of course, if something more appropriate comes along........:yes:
