I've never used dyna beads in a motorcycle tire, but I don't want those balls in my tires generating heat. Might work, but I have no problem with the old fashioned way of static balancing.
I use two kitchen chairs and the wheel axle that the tire mounts on.
Remove all wheel weights, and clean wheel. Mount new tire taking note to put the light spot mark, usually a dot, next to the air valve. Also, make note of direction of travel.
To balance, clean and lubricate the axle and slide it through the bearings. Rest the axle on the seat of two chairs with the tire free to spin between the chairs. Tire must be perfectly vertical and not touching anything. (You can build a device from 2x4s if mama won't let you do this in the kitchen).
Gently push the top of the tire so it rotates a few turns. It will eventually stop, and perhaps roll back and forth a bit. When it stops, the heavy part will be on the bottom. Make a chalk mark on the very top of the tire, and repeat the spin. Do this three of four times to determine the lightest spot on the tire, and attach a 1/4 or 1/2 oz weight to this light spot and repeat. If the weight you add becomes the heavy spot, use a lighter weight. If you have to use a very heavy weight, brake down the tire and rotate 180 degrees on the wheel.
Repeat this process until the wheel stops at a different spot every time you spin it.
Back when I used to mount all my own tires, this is how I balanced them.
