Which steel stick-on weights work best on motorcycle wheels?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) stick-on strips of twelve 5g segments, zinc plated or black spray coated, with blue tape, made for motorcycle wheels.
Motorcycle workshops and bike tyre shops buy these strips; a 5g x 10 version in silver, grey or black is also available.
Motorcycle wheels are light, so small errors in balance are felt quickly by the rider. Fine 5g steps let technicians reach an accurate result, and the strip format is easy to cut to the exact number of pieces. Offering silver and black versions means the weight can match chrome, silver or dark rims. Scooter and moped specialists use them as well, since their small wheels need the same fine steps.
Zinc plated or black: which suits motorcycle rims?
Zinc plating suits silver bike wheels, and black spray coating hides the weight on dark motorcycle rims.
Motorcycle rims are narrow and light, so small 5g pieces give the fine steps a bike wheel needs. Zinc plated or black spray coated versions let the weight match silver or dark rims. Blue tape holds well on clean motorcycle barrels, and the strip is easy to cut to the exact number of pieces.

Blue tape is standard on these motorcycle strips.

Which related weights should you compare?
For lead motorcycle strips, compare steel adhesive truck wheel weights 50g x 2 and 100g zinc plated and thick steel adhesive wheel weights 15g / 20g / 25g / 30g segments 7mm. For 2.5g fine steps, see steel adhesive wheel weights 5g x 10 4mm thin rounded zinc / grey / black, and for a clip-on option, look at steel clip-on wheel balancing weights for alloy rims.
Where are they used?
They fit the narrow barrel of motorcycle and scooter wheels. Dealers that service both sport bikes and scooters find the 5g step works across both, and the black version is a good match for the dark wheels on many modern motorcycles. Touring bikes with heavier wheels may need several pieces, which the strip format handles easily. Most bike workshops keep both silver and black versions. Typical jobs are tyre changes on road bikes, scooters and touring motorcycles.
How do you make sure they stay put?
Clean the narrow barrel, centre each 5g piece on the balancer mark and press firmly. Spin to check. Clean chain lube and road film from rear wheels first, because they stop the tape from bonding.
