towing RT SE

Does anyone know if the SE can be towed in neutral?:spyder2::shemademe_smilie:

I would not recommend towing any Spyder. The transmission output shaft and gears would be constantly turning as you go, unless you removed the drive belt. Also, the VSS would be inactivated, possibly making it less stable when cornering, even when towed...three wheels just aren't as stable as two. Tying down the handlebars so they didn't turn would also be tricky. Most of the stuff you could tie them off to is easily damaged...like the passenger grab rails. Pushing it around the driveway is one thing, but towing is quite another.
