~~~Where do you use it, garage or trail or both? What do you use to strike it, your fist, hammer, some other tool? Give me an idea how you go about using it Thanks! Jake Reddick Fla.

Have not tried it, but it is bulky enough that it would be hard to justify carrying it. You can break the bead with tire levers, which you have to bring along in any event.

Jake, I purchased a clone of this item from Rocky Mountain ATV (it says "bead popper" on it, but doesn't say "Motion Pro" and is make of black plastic instead of blue.  Otherwise it looks identical in the photo.  I don't see it at RMATV now, but Aerostich sells one that looks like mine. http://www.aerostich.com/bead-popper.html I tried it to remove the Dunlop D607 tires that came on my KLR, working at home where I had access to a 3-pound shot-filled plastic mallet. The D607 fit so tightly onto the rear rim that this device would not pop the bead. There was no glue or corrosion on the bead.  It just had a very tight fit on the rim.  The bead popper would wedge into place but the bead just would not scoot over and stay. Maybe the tool would have worked on another, looser fitting bead.  Or maybe my technique needed improvement.  Anyway I gave up trying with this tool.   So I found a 5" C-clamp at Harbor Freight .  The clamp is heavy (2 lb. 4 oz.), but it does the job. http://www.harborfreight.com/5-inch-industrial-c-clamps-39609.html The 5" clamp is big enough to fit over the knobs of the rear tire.  It may be possible to use a 4" clamp by inserting it through the spokes, but there's a chance that it could damage the rim in use.  Maybe someone else can chime in on this.

FWIW, The 607 rear is one of the toughest beads I've ever tried to break. The last one I did I got one side to pop using the bike's kickstand, but the other side required way more struggle and involved the use of a bench vise. I would hate to have to break a 607 bead on the road. da Vermonster

If you are going to replace the tube, can't you just spin it? Disclaimer - I have never changed a motorcycle tire myself, so I'm really clueless, but I've seen them spun and they aren't on the rim any more, that's for sure. Robert P.

Actually, a well accepted technique is to keep on riding the flat until the bead breaks. Maybe better practiced off-road, and avoided if you are planning to patch the tube rather than replace it.

Jud, I guess I missed the singular in the add. You're right, it's not a great deal if it's only one. Best, Jeff
