Towing?????

[Steve]

The engine side of the shaft could be bad though. The engine isn't spinning, so the oil pump is not going. I wonder if the transmission needs the oil pump going to be properly lubricated.

I can't speak for the other size shafties, but the 650's front of the shaft is lubed by engine oil (presumably pressurized), and the 850's is bathed in a separate reservoir of gear oil, so I don't think there is any pressurization there. If this is true, I would hesitate towing a 650 with the wheel on the ground, but would likely do the 850 (if I absolutely had to).

Do the larger shafties have the same setup that is on the 850?

Hi guys,
I thought this would get lot's of opinions. Glad to here them all. This only caught my eye.

This is the one I'm really interested in because it can be used for hauling things other that motorcycles and it's adaptable.

I was looking at the rampage one but I think this is a better idea.
