Balance front tire Question
#21
Good to know.
fwiw, over the past 15 years or so I have done most of my own tire changes in my garage and as long as I lined the yellow dot up with the valve stem I have never had a need to add/remove/relocate the wheel weights that were place on the wheel, either from the factory or by an earlier tire installer.

You should have left the rotor on it for balancing. That's probably where your vibration is coming from. It's all part of the same rotating mass on the front of your bike.

Remember..cheap is ...well, cheap.

Pretty hard to figure out the original question but it sounds like your dealer correctly did not balance the wheel assembly because they didn't have the brake rotor. If you had keyed the rotor and rim and put them back together in the same position it would have probably been fine. So now you need the wheel assembly balanced. So either bring the entire wheel assembly to the dealer (less expensive at an indie) or build a cheap home balancer.
