Posted yesterday about my 35 mph front end hop and have decided to try the Dyna Beads.
Question- Do I need to purchase the filtered valve core as well ?
Thanks

Never mind.
According to the nice folks at Innovating Balancing, the answer is "no"

What do you do if the Avon is out of round. Relating the question to the Dyna beads.

If it's out of round, I will return it. Since mine only has 155 miles on it, shouldn't be a problem. Avon is pretty good about standing behind their tyres.

35 mph is a little slow to be a balance related issue. I would lift the bike and give the front tire a good spin and try to see any problem.

FINALLY a tire for the Valk Interstate. Dunlop E3 with Dyna beads. This combination on this bike is out of the world. I cannot describe the difference in the way the machine handles over the E2's.

Just did a front and rear change this weekend.
E3s are one stiff S.O.B. of a tire.
Dyna beads are slick.
Also replaced those damn valve stems.
Now don,t need those plastic holders.

That is great news. Would be nice to have a report 5,000 - 6,000 miles down the road. I have found all new tires are "great" after replaceing near worn out tires. I am not a high mileage rider but I ride a little hard and don`t get the miles I should out of tires. Just would be nice to know.  |

I was not changing tires when I switched from lead to dyna beads, so I compared their recommendations to how much lead I had on my wheels. Although they recommend 2 oz for the size of the Valkryie rear, my dealer had installed 2.75 oz of lead on the wheel to balance an Avon Cobra. I put 3 oz of dyna beads in the rear and 2 oz in the front. I figured it's probably better to have a few too many than not enough.

E3 on the front, installed 1.75 oz. Battlax on the rear, installed 2 oz. Recently completed a 2,350 mile ride with no vibration. Very smooth up to highway speeds, rarely went over 80mph as I had received a fast driver award a few weeks ago.
