klr 650 and trailer
After a year of riding my KLR A14, it is now time for me to find a
solution to the biggest problem that I have.
Me and my wife really like to go camping. Riding two up the
KLR is not so bad but when come time to add extra camping stuff, well it's
kind a short. I have been thinking of the possibility to use a small trailer
for this purpose.
Do you think the KLR 650 is strong enough to pull an extra 100
pound. Do you know anyone who has experiment that.

I wouldn't recommend towing a trailer off-road - they've been known to
bounce and flip over... instant stop, messy.
Shouldn't have any problem towing on-road.
see you on the road someday, somewhere...

I think putting a trailer on a KLR650 is a very bad idea. If it was a good
idea and worked out-----you would see people doing it. The KLR barely does
good just to pull 2 people. And when you have to stop-------whoa----the KLR
has a hard time stopping itself. And the rear subframe is going to take the
load-----and the subframe can break just from normal use---or at least the
bolts can.

A swivel coupling minimizes the risk.
See:

Scroll down on the above sire for several views.
The trailer can rotate 360 deg. and not drastically affect the bike.

you'd think if they can make a trailer for a mountain bike they'd be
able to make one like this for dual sport bikes???
