Wouldn't worry too much about wheel balance with off road tyres on - you'll never get em bang on and you'd lose the weights anyway eventually off-road.

Winter Storage

Hi,

I'm going to store my CRM over the next couple of months and wonder what the best prep is. This is what I used to do on my fourstroke and wonder if there is anything else I should or shouldn't do:
