A bead breaker is definately the way to go. Get an adjustable one that handles the 8,9, and 10 wheels. The first couple are a pain, but eventualy you develope a technique that works well. Get some tire tools as well. I just use the biggest damn Craftsman Flathead screwdriver that they make, and a couple of the common sizes, and i can pop a tire on and off pretty quick. I know these aren't the correct or best tools, but they seem to work well.

 

I purchased the tire changer with an optional motorcycle tire changing adapter and it works great! Changed two tires in no time and put a paddle on my XR600 with ease. If you do any amount of tire changing, get one of these puppys.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
