Motorcycle Consumer News has slammed the dynabeads many times after detailed testing, including up through this past month's issue. They think they are useless and don't work at all as described in the marketing.

they seem to work ok if you stay at a speed for very long periods of time, but in stop/go traffic or city style riding they dont have time to get to the proper spot in the wheel.

The shop I went to used 'em with my Sport Demons. Thankfully it was only 1oz both front and back so the fact they suck isn't screwing me up too much. That answers why the bike feels jumpy in-town though...

I would be SOOOO pissed if I found out a shop used beads instead of a proper balance job!
