Brp trl 622 loading

[spacetrucker]

So would like some in put on loading the Brp 622. Why? Well on my last long trip I would get side toside walking not fish tailing but side to side .So need to find out what you all set your trl schocks to on the trl. mine are at 4 and tired 3 but still have side to side rocking.I due load 50% weight to the front and the rest to the rear. I do carry a spire tire and I do load it full for travel and work. Would say loaded about 365lbs with trl and all in side. So hope some one can let me know the best way to get it from walking :bowdown:side to side. thks

Try carrying a little bit more of the load up front... That should help! :thumbup:

Sounds like too little tongue weight. The tongue weight should be at least 10%-15% of the loaded trailer weight. For the Spyder the tongue weight should be between 15 and 40 pounds. You can lift the tongue to check the weight, use a fish scale, or use a bathroom scale. You also need to be careful not to overload the trailer. The loaded weight limit is 400 pounds. With a 250 pound trailer, that means just 150 pounds of cargo. A loaded cooler can weigh 40-80 pounds, so be careful when selecting what else to take. If you are sure you meet all these conditions, the trailer should be checked for loose or broken suspension componenets and mounts...or a broken frame. The RT-622 usually tracks straight and true.

Besides balancing the load side to side, it's even more important to have the proper hitch weight. If I remember correctly from one of Scotty's posts, hitch weight should not exceed 40#. I generally go for 10-15% of the total trailer weight and have had no problems. I weigh with a simple bathroom scale, making sure the hitch is at the height it will be while towing (a simple 2X4 of the correct length, or the BRP hitch support can help here).

Don't know if I'm infringing on this thread but I recent bought a Little Guy trailer to haul with the RS and I was wondering what kind of paint to use to change the color to black from yellow...Anybody have suggestions and the best way to paint it in lieu of bringing it to a paint shop where I'd get ripped off?

looking at the trailer you are wanting to paint isn't the trailer its self at or above max limit for an RS

 

[Littlebadwolf]

No...I've got the Little Guy Joey cargo version which isn't manufactured anymore...It hauls fine with the RS...I had the same concern and was looking at a Lumna trailer but that was very lightweight...The Little Guy Campers can also be pulled with the RS...many folks are doing so...I don't see any problem with the tongue weight or cargo weight...I'll never pack as much as this thing will carry. Many folks had the same concerns about the RS trailering anything but it does terrific with the Little Guy trailers and is up to the task...I have no worries.

I haven't found the shock setting to make much difference. As long as you have them set the same, the trailer won't sway. The factory setting is 3. I have tried 4 but it is a bit bouncy with an empty trailer. For a long trip with a full trailer I leave it there, though. If you are overloading, I would use #5.

I have a similar trailer to yours, a Jason Ion that was gel coated to my Golwing silver. I had a local paint shop match it to my lava bronze, they got the paint from us paint. I found the mixing sheet and printed it out for them, also gave them one of the panels off the spyder as a guide. The color match is perfect, you can not tell the difference. They added more clear coat to protect the paint and better match the spyder then they normally do. Also painted my helmet at the same time all for around $450/$480. They did such a good job I wish I had taken the dash and rear fender off the spyder to be color matched too.


Btw; for that price they completely stripped the trailer of all bright work( did not mask) and took it off the frame. It looks like it came from the factory. Well worth the money for a professional job. I'm so pleased I'm looking for a left over 2010/2011 RT-622 for under 2k so I can have that painted to match, then I will sell my ion. They're out there for that price just nothing close to me yet.

:agree: Shock preload on the trailer is strictly dependent upon how much "stuff", you'll be stuffing into it. If you stay within the limits, it's pretty much going to be just fine the way that it is. :thumbup:

Ok thks for all great help. But one more thing! Tire psi on the trl?.. I put it to 60 psi?? So let me know about this PSI in tires thks all

35 psi. It is in your trailer manual. If you overload your trailer, you may want a bit more, but don't exceed the maximum printed on the tire sidewall. The high pressure you are running could be responsible for the wandering you have noticed.

 

[spacetrucker]

Did not come with any paper work on trl and as for the tire side wall their is not psi on these wheels not the one that should came with it but some off the wall. Dlr said it was missing tires so the put some off the wall tires on? Great guys they are? Not!.. Ok will get new tires to day that will work I hope....thks

You can get a copy of the manual here. http://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/...403-95fe-45452f9ec55a&brands=roadster&type=og All DOT tires (legal for highway use) have a max load/pressure rating on the sidewall. It is not always easy to spot. I'd take a strong flashlight and have a second look. If you have implement tires or some other, off the wall thing on there, I'd ditch them fast. If you don't have the stock wheels, either, that could be the source of your swaying. A bent rim, or one that doesn't fit over the hub properly, can induce all kinds of trailer wobble. Any hope of forcing the dealer to replace the wheels and tires with what you should have had to begin with?

Another home run for Scotty... :bowdown::bowdown: :firstplace:

 

[spacetrucker]

Well the dealer said that they will not replace tires due to they don't carry them??? So now just put new tires on made just for trls. Run 35 psi up to 60 full loaded to 525 lbs ?. Also brp said the would send me tires but my take few weeks? Well we will see? Leaving on long trip and want good tires on trl. Now to pack ...thks to all for your great help.hope the rest of summer is good for all of you when you. Ride see y'all . Peace out to all

Have a good trip. I hope the 535 pounds is just the tire capacity. The RT-622 and Spyder are only rated for 400 pounds GTWR. Godspeed!
