The complete motorcycle adapter kit is designed to enlarge the clamping range of all Atlas and Coseng rim clamp tire changers. The motorcycle adapter kit is installed over the existing turntable clamping jaws to INCREASE the EXTERNAL clamping range of the turntable jaws. The height of the motorcycle adapter kit clamping jaws allows the wheels to be elevated above the solid rim clamp turntable. This elevation will allow many rear wheels to be clamped effectively (for the purpose of mounting or demounting a tire) WITHOUT the need to remove sprockets or hubs.
The handy motorcycle adapter kit is secured to the existing jaws with a screw clamping system that ensures a positive clamping action by the jaws. The metal jaws can be covered by the plastic jaw protectors to prevent damage to expensive alloy rims.
Please remember that clamping force exerted at the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM positions is REDUCED considerably. When clamping a rim with any adapter set, please make sure that the clamping pressure is sufficient to hold the rim securely.
The use of the Motorcycle Adapterprevents the use of the air bead blast feature on the majority of tire changers. The Motorcycle Adaptersare slid over the standard rim clamp jaws on the tire changer table and will block the holes through which the bead blast shoots the jets of air. This means that you will not be able to use the bead blaster to help you reseat the bead of a tire when you are using this adapter set.
