The importance of Motorcycle wheel balancing
The main advantages to professional motorcycle wheel balancing are:
-
Improved rider safety: The number one benefit of professionally calibrated wheel balancing is improved safety. A stable motorcycle is essential by minimising the risk of wheel wobble or instability due to the wheels being out of balance. The negative effects of unbalanced wheels can be amplified at higher speeds, in challenging road conditions or in an emergency,
-
Smoother ride: Balanced wheels ensure a smoother ride and greater rider comfort by reducing vibrations. This is particularly important on motorcycles, where even a slight imbalance can be felt more compared to in a car.
-
Increased tyre wear: Professionally balanced wheels help distribute weight more evenly across the tire contact area, preventing uneven wear. We all know the difference a new pair of high-quality tyres make to your ride, and uneven wear decreases your tyre's lifespan and costs more money to replace tyres.
-
Better handling: Correctly balanced wheels can improve motorcycle handling and stability, especially at higher speeds and in corners. Predictable and stable handling is essential to maintain control and manoeuvrability, which are critical aspects of motorcycle safety.
-
Reduced stress on components: Imbalanced wheels put additional stress on other motorcycle components, including the suspension system and wheel bearings. Over time, this can lead to premature wear, costly repairs, or even the chance of an unexpected breakage.
Whether you have an adventure bike, a road or race bike, an MX bike or even a scooter, Caloundra Motorcycle Centre has you covered.
