tion performed in the programme "SELECTION OF ADHESIVE WEIGHTS APPLICATION
POSITION" until an accurate balance is obtained.
Motorcycle wheels can be balanced in:
- dynamic mode; when the wheel width is such (over 3 inches) to generate significant
unbalance components which cannot be eliminated with static balancing (the recom-
mended procedure);
- dynamic mode for alloy rims; a programme similar to the ALU programmes for on-vehicle
wheels, featuring the possibility of dividing the weight of one side into two parts in case
of particularly large spokes;
- static mode; just one balancing weight, divided, if necessary, into equal parts on the
two sides; procedure described in the STATIC BALANCING section.
Proceed as follows to balance a motorcycle wheel on two
planes (dynamic balancing) using clip weights:
• remove the hub;
• fit the motorcycle wheel adapter on the wheel balancer
(A Fig.21);
• insert the two screws provided into the holes on the
wheel contact flange;
• tighten the screws on the adapter making sure that it
rests on the flange correctly;
• mount the motorcycle on the adapter shaft;
• mount the wheel after selecting the centring cones (one
for each side of the wheel), tighten with the appropriate
ring nut using the spacers necessary for coupling the
securing cones to the threaded part of the shaft.
IMPORTANT: the wheel must be fixed to the flange
so as to avoid any movement of the two during the
spin or braking phases.
- Select the Balancing programme icon
then press the ENTER button to set the MOTOR-
CYCLE environment.
- Fit the appropriate extension on the inner measur-
ing arm, specifically extension A on machines with
no weight holder or extension B on machines with
weight holder (Fig. 21 a).
- Set the wheel data as usual.
- Proceed as described for dynamic balancing.
