Tire Balance Weight

Tire Balance Weight
I just pulled my bike out of the shed to get it ready for the year. While I was looking things over I noticed that a portion of the weight on the front tire for balance has come loose. Is there a recommendation on how to re-adhere it. Just need to glue the one side back on so I know exactly where it goes. Thoughts?

You may use any good glue like the ones sold under the Crazy Glue, Super Glue and so on. Clean with a alcohol patch before and allow to dry. There is a new way of motorcycle tire balancing and I have researched it for the past weeks. It is with the use of very small ceramic beads. They sell a kit on E-Bay for about $15, some are cheaper but they don't contain the same tools. You install through the valve core stem and the amount is 1oz in the front and 2 oz in the rear. I purchased the kit that contained the beads, a plastic bottle, a piece of hose, and a valve core removal tool. You just remove the valve core and then add the beads to the bottle. Attach the tube and put it over the valve stem. Using very light squeezing on the bottle add the beads until they are all inside each tire. Refill with the proper air pressure and ride worry free. As your tires wear with the standard weights the tire goes out of balance because the weight stays the same. The beads go to the area of the tire that is not in balance for the life of the tire. No more worries about slung weights. They have several dealers that are now using this system. Take Care Fairshake
