Full details
The MPW Race Dept Portable Motorcycle Tyre Changer and Bead Breaker is an ideal tool for home mechanics, track-day enthusiasts, and professional racers who need to perform efficient tyre changes without the overhead of stationary shop equipment.

FAQs
Can I use this for car tyres?
No, this tool is specifically designed for motorcycle wheel dimensions and rim types.
Does this tool balance the wheel?
No, this is a tyre changer and bead breaker only; you will need a separate wheel balancing stand.
What is the best way to prevent rim damage?
Using high-quality rim protectors is the most effective way to prevent scratches when using metal levers.
Do I need to bolt it down?
While it is portable, bolting it down provides significantly more stability and leverage during the bead-breaking process.
Is assembly required?
The unit may require basic assembly upon arrival; ensure all bolts are tightened securely before the first use.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty breaking the tyre bead
Ensure you are using an appropriate tyre lubricant and that the bead breaker is positioned as close to the rim as possible.
Tool moves during operation
Secure the base of the tyre changer to the floor using appropriate heavy-duty anchors or a mounting plate.
Risk of scratching the wheel rim
Always use plastic rim protectors during the mounting and dismounting process to act as a barrier between the metal tyre lever and the wheel surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your tool, ensure it is placed on a level, stable surface. While it is portable, bolting the unit to a flat surface or using a heavy-duty base plate is recommended to prevent movement while applying force. Compatibility covers most standard motorcycle wheel sizes. For care, wipe down the unit after every use to remove debris or excess tyre paste. Periodically check all bolts and moving joints for tightness and apply a small amount of grease to the pivot points to maintain smooth operation. Keep the tool in a dry area to preserve the powder-coated finish.
