Does Ryker Fit w/o Major Difficulties Onto A 5 Foot Wide Utility Trailer???

[Aufgeblassen47]

I mean, it is 59.4" wide, so there is only 0.3" to spare on each side whilst loading onto trailer. :shocked:

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?

 

[Aufgeblassen47]

I'll probably get a 5.5 X 9 one.

Probably prudent would be to BACK it onto the trailer.

That is the bed dimensions and it weighs 650lbs. and has the 14” wheels. cueman

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.

 

[cueman]

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

How big is your shoe horn? :roflblack: cueman

 

[cjackg]

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

Manuel states the RYKER should be transported with the front facing forward.

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.

 

[KC61]

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.

Okie dokie! It could be towed BACKWARDS though.

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

Why would it matter?

 

[NewYorkSpyder]

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.
