775 mi. new Hooligan with lots of vibration at 60 Hmph. Front wheel seems to shake the whole front end. Is windshield buffet a cause or front wheel balance? Anyone here balance a 12" front wheel?
Greatgrandpop, Thanks

On all of my scooters, I use Dynabeads or the generic stainless equal. For a 10" tire, it is 1 oz. There are plenty of videos on youtube showing how to get them into your tire. I use the shaft of a dremel tool to create enough vibration in order to make them move.

You probably lost a weight or they did a poor job initially balancing it when prepping. Did it vibrate when it was new new? I'd take it back to the place you purchased it from and have them rebalance it. I know it's not a warranty item, but something as simple as a wheel balance with so few miles should be done on good faith by the dealer.

Hooligan wheels aren't balanced from the factory. Throw an oz of Dynabeads in it

Mine is the same way. Done it since new. Only shows up above 50 mph. Not sure if it is a wheel balance issue, or due to the stiff suspension.

You could have your local dealer pull the front wheel and spin it on the balancer. Its a god quick thing to check, you could just have one way out.
