It has positives with easy start, fuel savings and increased engine power. Once tuned to your engine (set up) you will be happy with results. Engine seems to run better right through rev range with increased response. As you can lean with height an over rich mixture, is controlled. Regards Bruce Keen > * > > > *

    Gary=2C Here is the web site for the beads and explians what they do and h ow it works. You can always type in Google=2C Ceramic Beads for tire balan cing=2C and numerous items pop up. I used 1 oz per tire as=2C they suggest ed 2 oz for my front motor cycle tire=2C so since our tire or only used dur ing taxi=2C takeoff and landings=2C and a heck of alot smaller=2C figured 1 oz would be fine=2C and so far so good. I am attaching a web site and a link to whee to by the kit. Also remember when installing the beads to hav e the value stem anywhere from 10 to 2 oclock position so when they are ins erted in the value stem they fall to the bottom of the tire=2C once all in =2C screw in the new value stem and add air to the tires. They have ceramic and stainless steel beads. I use the ceramic.

I assume they are small enough to fit through the valve stem. Thanks for the idea. Gary B. gbsss@bendbroadband.com From: winky53@hotmail.com Subject: RE: Lightning-List: Re: Unorthodox Tire Balancing Lightning All=2C I have used ceramic beads to balance a tires. I was told about these the last time I put new tires on my motorcycle. I run a KUMO ru n flat care tire on the rear of my Honda Goldwing with 3 ounces of beads an d 2 ounces of beads in the front and the ride is great. No matter what spe ed I am traveling the beads will move within the tire to balance it. I decided to added 1 ounce of ceramic beads inside each tube on my rear Lig htning tires and have found they run great. With the cost of tires I run re treads=2C and they balance perfect no matter what speed I appy to them. Cer amic beads are used on 18 wheelers and car tires for a long time. As a tire wears=2C the balance changes and with stick on weights or rim weights the lead never moves and tires will get out of balance after some mileage. The ceramic beads always are moving and can be reused. Just some other food f or thought.

It was like the magnetic balancer=2C but was just a shaft=2C two tapered cones=2C and t he shaft had pointed ends. You just held it very lightly between your finge rs.

I have a dnya-vibe and hook that up and run the wires through the heater butterfly b ox into the cabin so I can take readings at cruise speed and then balance f or that specific RPM. When I get it just right=2C you can tell the increase in vibration on either side of 2850.
