My 1250 GSA Rallye has no balancing weights at all on either of its wire wheels (fitted with A41’s). How the heck do they balance them at the factory?
No balancing weights – how!!?

Perhaps they didn't need any. The handbook lists the out of balance tolerances. It's something like 40g for the rear wheel, less for the front.

When I changed tire on my front wheel I ended up removing all weights, and the bike is now running without any weights on the front wheel.
The bike came with weights on, but only 5g.
On previous models, wheels with TPMS seemed to be out of balance by 45g due to the weight of the sensor,
Now, the sensor looks totally different, and the naked wheel (with no rubber) seems to be fairly close to in balance.

Perhaps they have fallen off as mine did in the Dolomites
I have almost always replaced my own motorcycle rubber. Never balance them ever. Never had a problem. JJH
The air might distubtite itself around to the lighter side as the centrifugal forces increase the faster you go. JJH
Thought about this recently when I was refitting a new rear tyre. Noticed there was no weights on the wheel, and could see that there had never been any on it. (There are on the front)
Googled it, and general consensus was that as it’s the trailing wheel, it’s not as critical, and also tyre technology nowadays means Tyres are more uniform in weight all round the circumference.
Make sense?

I have one.
Just need the rest of it now then...
It's OK, it's the PDF version so I don't need the bike to keep it on.
Nitrogen is to much heavier than air. Nitrogen collects at the bottom if there’s too much. JJH
