Eliminate the wrestling match of mounting stiff off-road tires by slipping the heavy-duty Motion Pro Bead Buddy II Aluminum Tire Tool into your gear bag. Custom-engineered for professional motorcycle mechanics, trackside racers, and backcountry dual-sport riders, this compact assistant acts as a rugged third hand that keeps the tire bead firmly compressed down into the drop center of the rim channel while you work your tire irons around the wheel layout.
Fighting high-tension tire beads or stiff, thick-walled motocross tires can quickly lead to pinched inner tubes, scratched aluminum rims, and extreme hand fatigue. Motion Pro solves this mechanical frustration by machining this tool from a single piece of high-strength 6061-T6 structural billet aluminum. The intelligent hook profile secures over the lip of your motorcycle rim, holding the tire bead locked down in its optimal positioning automatically. This prevents the bead from popping back up or slipping around the wheel face as you prize the final section of the tire over the rim lock, allowing you to change tires single-handedly in minutes without tearing up your hardware.
Unlike basic heavy steel wedges or generic tire tools that gouge your expensive anodized hubs and rims, the Bead Buddy II features a premium blue-anodized finish backed by laser-etched branding details. The critical contact face is covered with a specialized, non-marring protective coating that creates a smooth barrier against your aluminum components. It completely removes the need for clumsy rim shields or plastic protectors, while the knurled thumb-screw adjuster locks down smoothly against the wheel spokes to hold the tool safely in position during aggressive lever prying.
The Motion Pro 08-0471 Bead Buddy II features a universal mechanical layout designed to clamp perfectly onto standard spoked motorcycle wheels. It provides immediate tire-changing assistance for full-size dirt bikes, enduro models, and dual-sports, including racing platforms from Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas. Please Note: This tire aid tool is engineered strictly for spoked off-road wheels and is not intended for use on thick, solid cast-aluminum sportbike wheels, heavy cruiser split-rims, or automotive rims. Please verify your wheel configuration prior to final positioning.
Maintenance Tip: Mechanical safety is paramount. Hook the tool over the rim face early in the tire installation process, slide it close to your initial starting point, and lock it down securely against the nearest spoke. This ensures the bead stays seated in the deepest part of the drop center, maximizing the tire slack available on the opposite side of the wheel.
