    Default Trailer pulling and belt wear

    For the few that have had there RT's and pulling a trailer for a number of years, have you noted extra belt wear, Or rear bearings?
    I am not having any problems, but more for as an FYI on what to keep and eye on.

    Thanks
    Gary

    I have 114,000 on my Spyder today and I'd say that I've pulled my trailer for 2/3 of those miles. Still have the original belt.

    As long as you keep to the recommended weight for tongue and load you will be fine...
