I have a G11GT so it¡¯s the Titan RA. I use electronic luggage scales and at the end of the weight shaft pull up then pull down, adjust until the numbers are the same.

The heavier your load and higher the altitude the worse it gets.

Lately I build like a gear puller to help with the balancing the RA. Pulls the weight off the clutch plate so balancing much more accurate. See video attached.
Hi just received new G11G and was trying to balance the RA axis and at my latitude of 45 degrees and there was way to much friction to balance the mount. This mount definitely needs the wavy washer. To get around this I used 2 methods to
find balance.
1. Set the altitude adjustment to 0 so that all loads are on the bearings and none on the friction plate. This works perfectly.
2. I have an amp meter on my battery box so I set the RA axis to horizontal and slewed in one direction and then the other waiting for the current to steady . I adjusted the weight so that the current was the same. This I could do with the altitude at 45 degrees.
Both were very close to each other.
