Remove the front wheel from the bike and deflate the tire completely.
Clean the tire and wheel thoroughly, removing any dirt or debris that may affect the balance.
Find a level and stable surface to work on, such as a workbench or table.
Place the wheel on the surface so that the rim is resting on two points, such as the axle and a wooden block.
Locate the heaviest part of the wheel by spinning it and watching for the part that drops down the fastest. Mark this part with a piece of chalk.
Attach a balancing stand to the axle of the wheel. This can be a simple stand made from wood or metal that holds the axle in a vertical position.
Slowly rotate the wheel and observe the position of the chalk mark. If the mark consistently stops in the same position, the wheel is out of balance in that spot.
Add small weights to the opposite side of the heavy spot until the wheel remains in a balanced position when rotated.
Reinflate the tire to the recommended pressure and remount the wheel on the bike.
Test ride the bike and ensure that there is no vibration or wobbling at high speeds.
By following these steps, you should be able to balance a motorbike front tire manually without the use of electrical motor apparatus.
