I wanted to know should a new tire balance be done with the drive sprocket and damper/cush drives on the wheel? I ask because the shop said they never balance a rear wheel/tire with those parts together. I thought the whole rear drive assembly should be balanced together as they do go together on the bike.

Well, I figure you will be riding on the wheel/tire with the parts on it, I think it would only be common sense to balance it with them on there. |

We balance the tire wheel assembly only. The chain goes on the bike as well. No need to balance anything that isn't bolted directly to the wheel. |

What she ^ said. Also - Cush drive? You are talking something other than a Buell, correct? NO Buell chain conversion that I've ever seen - whether Factory or Aftermarket uses a cush drive... but still - there's no need to have the sprocket/cush drive in place but BE CAREFUL if the rubber biscuits are loose - you'll have to keep track of them - they tend to get lost along the way.

Also - Cush drive? You are talking something other than a Buell, correct? Yes, I was referring to my other bike which is a '96 CBR1000F. I had the Cycle Gear sale Pirelli Diablo’s mounted the wheels about 2 weeks ago. 2 days later at the same dealership I won the grand prize at their open house to show their new Victory line. It was a free set of Dunlap tires of my choice mounted on my bike. I still had the wheels off the Honda, so I dropped them off yesterday after work to install the Dunlap’s. I'm just going to keep the Pirelli's to use on the Firebolt at a later date. This was the same dealership that told me after they put the first set of tires on "They never balance the sprocket assembly with the wheel". I just requested that they balance it together this time. I guess I won't know if they really did it though. I'm picking them up today after work. |
