I have a Stinger foldable trailer. I wanted it because I don't want to store a trailer outdoors but didn't want to dedicate a garage bay just for a trailer. I've had "issues" trailering the RS on it. First time, I learned you must strap the bike down so there is absolutely no slack because the lack of springs on the trailer means everything transmits into the bike. Slack gives opportunity for the hooks to slip off the anchor points.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #1 What did the front tie down look like? If you use ratchet straps up front, cam buckle straps are fine for the rear.

What was the tire pressure on the trailer? If they're actual bias ply trailer tires, running with lower pressure should be fine but you should be able to find a load rating/pressure for the tire. Lower pressure will mean the tire acts as a suspension.

Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #3 Not sure. I know I likely set it for the maximum of the tire. As far as the CapStrap goes, it won't work because the strap must be aligned with the anchor, and the anchor point is not negotiable on this trailer. Did see this, though, and it may solve the issue. I'm also going to check to see if the front chock is too loose. I thought it was set correctly, but maybe I need to move it a notch?

I suppose the tires were set for 25 PSI. One was below 25 and the other below 20.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #5 I have an aluminum utility trailer with 15" wheels and full size tires. The trailer itself weighs about 750lbs and I just carried a 600lb lawnmower in it this past weekend. The tires were inflated to 20psi. Given your situation, I think I'd go a bit less than 20psi.
