I have an XR650L dual sport bike. Weighs about 350 with a tank of gas. Do you think the carrier could handle it?

I would make sure that it is long enough for you bike, but as far as weight it is a very sturdy and don't see any issue with it handling the weight of the bike. I use a ratchet strap with my bike because I'm paranoid but honestly it is not needed.

My load is 300 lbs and over my 400 mile trip, I didn't have any issues at all. Can't really say about 350, but I would think you'd be fine, but be careful about road humps, bumps, etc. Hopefully you'll get another response from someone with a bit more weight.

I have a Kawasaki KLR 650 dual sport - weighs about 370 LBS. This rack carries my motorcycle on the rear of my Dodge Dakota okay - but the truck rides much lower due to the weight It is also important to use the proper ratchet tie downs (I use four tie downs) and make sure the 'anti-sway' device is installed properly. This rack should handle your motorcycle well - but it is difficult to get the heavier motorcycles up on to the rack without some help - I had to build a longer ramp to use when I load the motorcycle on to the rack by myself. It loads more easily if two or three people are doing the loading. I have a Kawasaki KLR 650 dual sport - weighs about 370 LBS.

You bet it will. Mine has carried every type of bike without issue. Great purchase!

Yes with it being a bike w/o any weight issue like a car, I don't think you will have a problem. Are u sure a bicycle needs a 125 psi ?

I have been able to do it, but you have the full weight of the bikes to worry about. If you are strong, you won't have much trouble.

Yes, it will carry any bike (fenders or not) and the rails can be adjusted for wide handlebars. I can carry a fully loaded touring bike (with panniers) and a full suspension mountain bike with out much adjustment.

we have managed fine with 25lbs on mountain bikes and 200 miles of very bad roads. be sure to install some rubber tube between the contact surfaces of the carrier and the bike frame. worth the money

Your hitch is going to be occupied by the bike rack. If you find a dual hitch receiver with a tall enough rise you may be ok. You also want to be careful you don't go over your max tongue weight.

Yes, it can bolt onto the carrier. Be aware of the increased load and how it sticks out. When you park, it might add an additional 30 inches to your vehicle length. Happy biking!!

Well. It's too heavy for that. It's I think But I recommend. need a tow hitch bike rack.

It can take motorcycles and scooters... sort of. It helps a lot if you know the weight of your cargo and if you strap it down well enough and properly, you can carry a pretty hefty load. Just be carefull with the carrier, too much weight would be no good. Good luck!!!

yes just see specs for weight limit i think its 400 my ktm is 229 and i use it on a 2013 pilot and my sons jeep 2008 Note have to have a 2 inch hitch and also the limit is on tongue weight , thats why i didn't get the one that can take 2 bikes it was over 600lb tongue weight check your cars manual for that. with one you should be fine

Not sure why but here is what I found. It is hard to load and unload a 230 pd dirt bike with this carrier. My son and I could do it but felt better with a 3rd person. I would hate to try it with a bike much heavier. A scooter might work unless the wheel size is too small but not really sure on this. Amazon sells another carrier that tilts. We returned this one and have used that one for almost a year.

It should not have any problem to load a eBike on this carrier. Make sure to put the heaviest bike to the closest rack to the vehicle for the sake of leverage. Please also consider the tongue weight of your hitch as the carrier itself has 70 lbs plus the weight of the bikes. Don't overload it. I have my downhill bike (50 lbs) and other 3 bikes total at 180 lbs with no issues. My tongue weight max @ 500 lbs.

This really isn't designed to carry bikes. It could be easily modified to do so since it has such high weight carry capabilities. I would advise to consider a Thule or Yakima bike carrier to really carry the bikes safely and without damage (to the bikes or vehicle).

If you are looking for something like a bike carrier or small rack for totes, I wouldn't be afraid of it. But as the first person said, the further back you go, the less weight you can carry. I have one of these and it is awesome, but I only use it as it was designed. Even though it is on a farm pickup.

I have a jeep renegade and a 280lb bike that i use mine with- since yours is lifted its going to make the loading ramp steeper but since you are loading an xr100 and they are fairly light weight; it should be ok. I have hauled my nephews crf100 a few times and lifted the back wheel right onto the ramp.

I was hoping to put bags on mine, but the instruction booklet says not to put more than 10 pounds on it. I believe this bike would do fairly well cross country, but if the battery ruins dry it's a work out to peddle. I would recommend removing the battery to ride without power, because the battery is fairly heavy. The Manuel recommends this too. This thing goes up hills no problem. I find peddling helps take a lot of the work off the battery.
