    Like everything we buy, there are always *pro's and con's* (good points versus bad points.

    Mojolever:

    Pro's;

    Easy to use, once you've read and understood the user instructions that come with the lever, after using it a few times initially.
    Save $$ by doing your own tyre changes while at home or the track.

    Design is very strong, solid piece of metal bar.

    End bits are easily replaceable.

    Con's

    Tyres are too difficult to change when cold
    Tyres must be warm prior to removal/fitting (highly recommend using tyre warmers or throw out in the sun. Use warmers if not sunny)
    Need to buy bead breaker http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TORPEDO7-...item339774ad28
    Need rubber lube paste http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Tyre-Bead...item233b32ed28
    Need wheel balancer http://www.kaneg.com.au/products/Whe...Motorbike.html
    Need to buy wheel weights http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MOTORCYCL...item234bfd0bd8


    links are examples only

    And last but not least ...

    you'll need to find somewhere to mount the bead breaker so it can be used, ie: draw bar of your trailer on the spare wheel.


    Other than that, it's a fantastic piece of kit.

    I've used it many times at the track, and have had several people walk past an watch me change my own tyres, then people start asking if they can get theirs changed too. ;-)
