Your wheels should be balanced with the brake discs in place, the wheel rotates with the discs on why would you remove them balance the wheel and then put discs back on for them to possibly put the wheel out of balance again. It is always recommended to balance wheels with new tyres, tyres can sometimes take up to 40 Grams to balance them, those sort of imbalances can cause the wheel to throw as that area hit the road at incredible speeds, causing a bumping feeling, wheel wobble, vibration, noise and tyre wear. I would hasten to add that funnily enough this was a conversation I had with the tyre fitter yesterday when I had a new Bridgestone T30 fitted to the front of my old girl.
Alex and Darron are the guys (A-Force Motorcycles of Aldershot) that I trust to work on my bike, they are the experts, so I will take there wisdom onboard and always get my tyres balanced.
It seems to me that taking the twin disks off you bike and balancing the wheel in some ways a bit like removing you air filter element, balancing and tweaking your carbs, then connecting up the air filter again.
