Hey guys, is it neccessary to balance the wheels on a motard that is track only? I just replace the rear tire on my SMR and was wondering.

Thanks

It's not necessary, but it sure makes the ride better!

I guess I have my answer. Thanks

Technically an out of balance tire is putting less psi of contact on the light side of the wheel, combined with rpm, I'd say it will make a handling difference when pushing limits.

I'd get them balanced if the bike is just sitting around. but if I'm swapping tires on a race day I usually don't get them balanced and haven't really noticed anything significant.
