Not saYing you don't have to. Most sportbikes have vibration bushings in the hub to avoid that. As for the front from the manufacture there fitted with weights on the front. You can have them balanced if you want for you to rest easy at night. My bike has a weight on the front that I haven't changed going on 4th front tire. I've done excess of 140mph on my bike and no difference from when I had the bridgestone stocks to my Michelin pilots. The only real time you gave an issue is if you have cupping on your tires which is from running to low of air pressure over a long period of time. In this case balanced of not your gona get head shake. So if you really want to go ahead and balance them them sure do it. I keep the weight that was there from stock due to imperfections on the rim not the tire. Like I said you have 4 bushings in the rear that are made to fight vibration unless they are worn and need replacing. Yet I've seen bikes 10+ years old still in good condition. Some bikes have a tire to rim inticator that you line up aswell as rotation direction on your ri
usually on the spokes which also acts to balance the tire.
