Push the driver grip toward the tire so that the balance weight slips off the rim flange.

Installation
Check if the weight portion has any play on the brade-and-clip plate.
If it does, discard it.
Warning!
- If the balance weight has any play on the rim flange, the blade and/or clip have been stretched. Replace the loose balance weight.
- Do not reuse used balance weight.
- Unbalanced wheels can create an unsafe riding condition.
Lubricate the balance weight blade, tire bead, and rim flange with a soap and water solution or rubber lubricant. This helps the balance weight slip onto the rim flange.
Caution! Do not lubricate the tire bead with engine oil or petroleum distillates because they will deteriorate the tire.
Install the balance weight on the rim.
Slip the weight on the rim flange by pushing or lightly hammering the weight in the direction shown in the figure.
Check that the blade and weight seat fully on the rim flange, and that the clip is hooked over the rim ridge and reaches rim flat portion.
Installing balance weight
