Balancing Your KTM Dirt Bike Wheels is Easy - Get Rid of the Hop and Reduce Head Shake

Riding my KTM here in Arizona, and experiencing head shake at these faster speeds in the desert. At half throttle in 4th gear, the front wheel starts bouncing around as it's not very well balanced due to the location of the valve stem and the rim lock being close together. To balance this out you need about 3 oz of weight on the opposing side. I got these brass wheel weights off of Amazon , but they don't fit over the nipples on this bike, so they can't be secured. They need to be drilled out. But I can still make use of them here in this video to show you how to properly balance your front wheel and improve your ride. If you're feeling motivated, you can even go ahead and balance your rear wheel too. That requires about 3.5 oz of weight.
