VIVOHOME Motorcycle Wheel Balancer Static Dynamic Tire Balancing Tool

I purchased this product to balance the rear wheel of my BMW k1200LT motorcycle. This particular wheel design is a rear wheel swing arm design and I had to slightly modify this balancer to accommodate that - but I also purchased this balancer fully expecting to have to do a modification due to this design. If you're wheels are using an axle, you're probably good to go with this straight out of the box. The assembly instructions were not all that helpful but anyone can figure out how to put this balancer together. It is extremely simple and it is well made. Basically, just insert the four feet and screw in the level and the four small balance wheels that the bar rides on and you're done. You will need to level it first by adjusting the feet so the level bubble sits perfectly in the middle of the circle. Very easy to do. It comes with two small "O-rings" that slide on the balance bar - not sure what those are for and they do not affect the functionality of the wheel balancer. As for balancing your wheel, first, you will need some wheel balance weights that are also available (purchased separately) on Amazon. Once you have those, there are several good videos available on the internet on how to balance your wheel. I had no issues with balancing - I'm not sure that I balanced my rear wheel perfectly - it is very close at any rate and at speeds of up to 115mph, I did not detect any wheel shaking. For my use, this is a perfect solution and a big cost saving. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to balance their own wheels at home instead of schlepping them down to the dealership. This balancer will literally pay for itself on the next use.

I did my first manual tire change for my Honda GL1800 back tire and used this tool to balance the wheel. I did get a couple good YouTube tips on this process for temporary mounting the weights with tape (and leaving all original weights on to start - which I did have to remove). The other good tip was to mount one cone, then the tire, then stand the whole thing on the rod to force the tire onto the cone and THEN mount the second cone. This really helps for a tight connection between wheel and cones with no slop. The bearings and balancing rod rotate very smoothly and made the job an easy one. The only negative is the adjustable feet to level the whole unit. The milling of the threads on the nuts welded to the frame, or the threads of the leveling feet themselves (or both) are not very good tolerances at all - a fair amount of slop after installing. Each leg has a locking nut which pretty much eliminates the slop so all was well for the balancing process, but the quality of the threads was lacking. This is a basic unit with no "run out" measuring rods or any other accessories. It is a simple balance tool and does that job well. Overall this worked fine for balancing my tire and it was a quick, smooth process.

The level that comes with it was broken when it arrived, but for a budget wheel balancer it has done its job.

Worked excellent, I had tires mounted and they weren’t balanced. I like to do my own work so I ordered this static balancer. Price made sense since I plan to keep my bike for awhile. Slight difficulty putting in the leveler so make sure you put a rag down to catch the nuts if the drop but my own fault there. Would recommend if you plan on doing your own work or need to rebalance often

Worked good was able to get rid of the front tire death wobble

Works OK. Some rear wheels have a large center hole and this won't fit. (Ducati) Rear wheel Adapters for that are expensive. ($100) The bearing are cheap. I would be slightly spinning the wheel only to find out the bearing are not spinning just the rod. WD40 on the bearings didn't help. I balanced front and rear but won't use it again.

Easy assembly. Make sure the bearings are tight. Works as it should if you are patient.

I was looking at a different one, but since I read reviews the other seemed to not be made with quality parts, I found this one and it had very good reviews, when mine arrived it all looked to be very good quality parts, the only problem was the bubble level was packaged with the bolts and I guess from being banged around the edge was broke in two places, the big broke piece had one of the three screw holes in it, I sent an email and pictures of it and didn't think I got a response so I called the next evening and got the nicest woman on the phone and she pulled it up and they had responded 12:30am my time, and had offered to replace it, she asked if I did want that and I said yes so she responded on my behalf & said I would receive a emailed tracking number and was there anything else I needed, as I said in the beginning it is solid and very good parts and now I can also say very great customer service, I got the blue one
