Does Ryker Fit w/o Major Difficulties Onto A 5 Foot Wide Utility Trailer???
I mean, it is 59.4" wide, so there is only 0.3" to spare on each side whilst loading onto trailer.

Not gonna work, you will booger something up. Heard of it happening already. Get a 6x10 or 6x12 if you can

My Aluminum Triton is an 84” x 120”. This gives me room to walk around and strap it down. Plus, for me, it helps to get on and off more safely. The ramp is the full width and 4’ long. cueman

Is that the bed or overall dimensions?

I'll probably get a 5.5 X 9 one.
Probably prudent would be to BACK it onto the trailer.

Be easier to line it up if you pull onto the trailer instead of backing.

I have a 6' x 12' Triton trailer and plan on putting 2 Rykers back to back on it by offsetting the rear wheels.mkapH4oPQ%mgWa5Kvxn4+Q.jpg

And don’t forget that the front of the Ryker is heavier than the rear. Just make sure the trailer is long enough so you can get the proper hitch weight. IMO cueman

Yes, doing it backwards is always easier... lol

Speaking of that, instead of towing on a trailer, I've just sent a message to Can-Am asking if the Ryker be towed safely (i.e. w/o transmission damage) on a dolly with the rear wheel on the ground. Will be interesting what they say.
Will be a helluva lot less weight towing & much better resulting MPG.

When the Rep at CanAm stops laughing about using a Dolly I'm relatively sure the answer will be a firm NO

Would not be a good idea AT ALL because the input pulley from the motor would be spinning a extremely hi RPM's as the CVT tranny would think it is in the lowest effective gear. The engine RPM governs the engagement of the centrifugal clutch on the motor. It would be like putting a manual shift vehicle in low gear and holding the clutch in while pulling the venicle, at the speed increases the transmission input would try to run an extremely hi RPM with the resulting serious damage to the tranny and possibly the motor should the centrifugal clutch accidently engaged. Try pushing your Ryker in either forward or reverse gear with the motor off.
Do not try it.

Most likely but you'll have to lock the steering.

Why would it matter?

Transport facing forward mainly because the windshield is designed to cut thru the wind not catch it.

I have an 80" wide by 12' long trailer. it will fit both my Ryker, and the wife's Spyder. It's a tight fit with the Spyder being backed onto the trailer.
Calling an illegal immigrant an undocumented worker, is like calling the corner drug dealer an unlicensed Pharmacist.

I would slide it all the way down if towing backwards.

NO.........100% same issues period.
You could tow only if the speed never exceeded a very low speed, something well under 10 MPH.

It is so small, it would hardly matter. Plus, you can lower it all the way down.
