I have a 2016 Indian Springfield: I should have purchased the Rabaconda Tire Changer years ago. The large spindle fits the front tire perfectly without adapters. Need another 5000 miles to do the rear tire. Photos show the simple storage of the Rabaconda Tire Changer vs the older technique hanging on the wall.
Instructions and set up are easy to follow. Watch a number of the “beginner videos”. The set up and use really is that easy. Yes you need to apply some force as it is a manual tool.
Strong suggestion to make life easy, while you are removing the worn tire from the rim, place the new tire in the sun to heat it up. Makes life a lot easier when installing it.
I thank you and my back thanks you!!
The leg extensions make a great product even better. Amazingly the extra leg extensions fit into the storage bag which is a very nice touch .
As the kids today would say “appreciate ya “.
A friend and i went in halves on one of the street changer ulimate packages and now he decided we have a balancer. I love the tire changer for the most part. With 11 different motorcycles between our garages, 3 different manufacturers and 7 different types (touring, Softail, Dyna, import cruiser, enduro, and sport), I have changed 6 tires on 5 different motorcycles so far. Both mag style wheels and Laced (or spoked) wheels.
Replacement adjustment set screws. ( I tripped and knocked it over and broke one of these.) With in a few days of contacting customer service i was informed they are covered under warranty and had one in shipped drectly to my door. As much as i love this unit there are a couple of things I would like to see as an option. A different handle to use with the rachet assembly. the current handle works great for the bead breaker but is a little awkward for the ratchet assembly sometimes when working alone. It is convenient for keeping in the compact bag for taking it on the road but i keep it in my shop and dont travel with it. I would also like to see leg extensions for the front legs as an optional item as well as Drop center bead tools for narrow lace (spoked) wheels. Something similar to the motion pro bead buddy (but with Rabaconda engineering maybe). The ones that come in the kit are great but are too deep for the narrow wheels. Overall, a fantastic unit and we will enjoy using it and will for many years
Amazing product. I finally got my rabaconda after a year of looking. I regret not getting one sooner. I struggled through changing many tires manually and this makes it so easy and I mean extremely easy… it’s not even a comparison. It’s pricey but 100% worth it and it’s built like a tank.
I'm easily pushing 40 tire changes with mine. I love it, I figure out better methods all the time, my tire change time and effort has reduced drastically since using the Rabaconda. I have done, Street, and ADV bike tires including the Tusk 2Track and Dunlop TMM, both known as some of the stiffest tires you can find. Works great, but still requires a little work and proper method. The best part is I never have busted knuckles after changing tires now.
I love the tool and it's easy to use. One thing that would make it better is if there were more holes for the wheel stop. I have a 1983 Suzuki with 16 inch wheels. I needed to remove the brake rotors from the wheel in order to use the wheel stop. I may use my drill press to add an additional hole later. Other than that, I love it. It has made tire changing so much easier.

Hello and thank you for your review. There are many wheel types where the Stopper Pin cannot be used. For these wheel types we include a strap that can be used to secure the wheel. You can loop the strap through the wheel or brake rotor to secure the wheel from rotating. If you have any questions, please email support@rabaconda.com. Thank you
Changed both tires on my 1984 BMW R100RS, and discovered the axle is smaller in diameter than current models. Rabaconda quickly dispatched their “skinny” spindle and I was ready to get started. Also reminded myself how much I hate changing narrow tires with tubes……
Worked just as described. It took me longer to clean the rims than to change the tires. Great piece of kit that will pay for itself in a year just changing my own tires.
There is a little bit of a learning curve but my overall experience is a 9.5 out of 10! The only thing I would improve on is the technique of using the strap to keep the rim from rotating during the process on spoked wheels. I highly recommend this tire changer!
Absolutely worth the money. I was definitely hesitant to spend that much, especially since I found other setups like the no mar for cheaper, however it definitely proved to be a great purchase. Originally I tried to find a reason why I should return it for the other setup however I’ve used it on three tires already and can attest it is just as quick as the videos. I will say however, some tires are more difficult to break the bead, my rear tire was a monster andI thought I was going to break the tool, but once it was popped, everything went smoothly.
Very impressed with the Rabaconda. Quick easy tire changes are just one of the many benefits of this machine. Rapid set up and take down are also super impressive. When your done the Rabaconda stores away in a very solid carring case and takes up very little space. Where I live tire changes are very expensive and bookings are hard to get. No more downtime or scratched rims for me or my friends. Thank you Rabaconda.
Couldn’t be more pleased with it. Super high quality. I am amazed at the build quality. I can literally change a set of tires in minutes. I brag about it often. Beats even a shop machine which I had prior to this. I take it with me to the track as well. Five stars all day long.
After years of begging a car mechanic friend to mount my tires and I wrench on enough bikes as a side job and have been asked “do you mount tires?” I pulled the trigger on this Rabaconda. My first customer $2k worth of brand new supermoto wheels and tires! Talk about nervous not to damage them!! Went a little shaky on the first as I simply didn’t get the tire down into the innermost part of the rim and really struggled but then realized this and it went smoothly. Still $1k for this setup for what it is man that’s a steep investment. Going to take me a lot of tire changes to make this worth while. Recommend it? Ya I guess it worked “ok” so far.
I wanted to hate this product, due to the price, but darn it this thing is amazing. I recommend it to anyone tired of paying too much to a shop to do a simple tire change. Be warned though, if you have a BMW they charge you extra for a hub tool. Stupid marketing in my book, as the folks that have the money and do their own fixes are usually KTM and BMW owners, not kids on Japanese bikes.
So much better than mounting tires by hand. I wish I would’ve bought this a couple of years ago.
Instructions are pretty clear, and there are tons of YouTube videos as well.
First test was just pulling one bead off both the front and rear wheels on a gsx8r to install 90 degree stems. Easy off. Easy on. Next was a rear tire change on an ‘08 hd ultra, no-profile spoke wheel. Tubes are a pain with spoons. Rabaconda made it easy. Trust me, easy, compared to holding spoons and trying to not pinch a tube. Last change was putting tires on 2 brand new factory wheels on a ‘23 Indian pursuit. Not a scuff. I’ve been changing bike tires a long time. Wish I would had this for the past 30 years.
The adapter worked as advertised on my Ducati Monster SSS wheel. Pay attention to the tension on the nut... as the wheel spins on the rack, the nut can unscrew and the wheel will get loose.
This tool takes the fear of changing moto tires away. I dreaded going to a tire shop and spending upward $200-300 for someone to remove and mount/balance new tires. Being able to do this at home will certainly pay off for the long run!
The Rabaconda tire changer is one of the best investments I’ve made for my garage. The build quality is outstanding, it’s incredibly well engineered, and it makes changing motorcycle tires much faster and easier than using traditional tire irons. After a short learning curve, I was able to swap tires without scratching my wheels.
I especially like how portable it is—it sets up quickly, packs away easily, and doesn’t need to be permanently mounted. If you change your own motorcycle tires, whether for street bikes or track days, this tool will save you time, money, and frustration.
It’s not cheap, but the quality and performance justify the price. I highly recommend the Rabaconda to anyone who regularly changes motorcycle tires. It has exceeded my expectations.
Needed new tires on my 41 year old moto Guzzi. I’m tired of shops not doing it right or not available etc. made a snap decision to spend the money and go all the way. Wow I’m glad I did. Folks this isn’t some Amazon cheap Chinese thing that will last one or two uses.. this is thick wall steel, powder coated , well engineered. I fully expect to hand this down to my grandkids. YOU CANT GET STUFF LIKE this anymore! I’m blown away. It’s worth every penny. Little trial and error on my part doing this first tire set. Got it done with no damage or issues.

Hello and thank you for your review. I am sorry to see your Duck Head Broke. Please email support@rabaconda.com so we can understand what caused this to break and provide you with a solution. Thank you
So easy to mount and unmount, mobile and perfect for someone who puts a lot of miles on their bikes, or someone who does trackdays or races and needs to change rubber during a lunch break or day two of riding without leaving your pit. So easy to use.
Lifetime motorcycle junkie. 35+ years of owning multiple motorcycles at a time. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER ENJOYED CHANGING A MOTORCYCLE TIRE!!!!! Seriously y’all it’s fun and effortless. Especially after busting knuckles, using cheap spoons that break, and cussing tires endlessly. BUY IT! You won’t regret it. I promise.
Most likely yes! The Street Bike Tire Changer can work on axle sizes 15-32mm right out of the box. It is also compatible with axle sizes from 32-68mm with the addition of our Universal Big Hub Adapter, which is almost a must for any motorcycle with a single sided swing arm.
No need to remove the rotors! The rim supports below the rim are adjustable so you can slide them as wide as needed to accommodate any size brake disc.
The Street Bike Tire Changer is designed predominantly for cast wheels, but it also works on wire-spoked wheels. In case of spoked wheels, instead of the metal pin to lock the wheel from spinning, a strap (included with tire changer) through the spokes should be used. However, proper cautiousness is always needed as using excessive force can still damage a spoke.
Yes you can! Just be mindful of the rim lock during the changing process.
You're covered! After testing out a number of different shapes and lengths of tire irons, we've found the best one to accompany this tire changer. The tire iron is included in the bag, so you can just roll up the sleeves. To provide maximum protection for your rims, we have even included a protective cover for the tire iron.
Changing stiff sidewall tires (like Bridgestone Battlax and similar) will require more time, patience, extra care, drop center clamps, and skills. Do not use excessive force and take your time to develop proper technique.
Yes! Changing a carbon fiber wheel with the Street Bike Tire Changer is possible, but proper technique when breaking the bead and dismounting/mounting is critical to avoid damaging the wheel. We strongly advise practicing on an old wheel first as well as utilizing our Carbon Fiber Wheel Support Blocks. Never use levers or similar tools as they can cause rim damage, and never use excessive force. Rabaconda is not liable for damaged rims or spokes on carbon, mag, cast or spoked wheels.
No. Nein. Nej. Non. Nie. Het. You can't use a duck head to change tires with bib mousse inserts. Instead, use tire irons and a Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer.
