FLYTYM said his tires were 0.5 and 0.75 oz out - that's only 15 and 21 grams each, really not very much at all. Just as a reference, I compared different valve stem and valve cap weights.
Great comparison!

When the factory tires were replaced at the local Honda dealer, the front took zero weights and the rear about the same as original.
My factory wheel set had weights. It is quite possible this is something the dealer does as part of the safety certification.

I purchased my new (0 miles on the clock) 2014 CB1100 a year ago and it came out of the crate with weights on both tires.
