Motorcycle Hitch Carrier - How To Tie Down Dirtbike

[@MichaelWhite-cx4ho]

Thanks, Mate! Never really considered this carry option seriously before, but the more I look, the more comfortable I am. The only problem now is that it looks as though I'm going to have to spend a bit on gearing up for some deep snow riding! Looks like a blast!

[@jamesschwartz4017]

Thanks Marcel...just got a hitch carrier for my 70 lb ebike and needed a tutorial on tying it down properly. Thanks man!

[@frankzaman1610]

*Fits my car perfectly with my new **Latest.Bike** raker , very easy to set up and take down. Great quality and price, very happy with this purchase!*

[@srchristopher6040]

The best video I’ve seen on this topic! If y’all don’t have one, buy a KTM, awesome, all there products are of the upmost quality! Praise Jesus, and ride, KTM

[@andyjame1892]

I Love how easy this kzbin.infoUgkxvAj3godqGAIP5rApM1laH767JGtPG1-h carrier is to adjust from my friend to me taking turns holding the baby! It provides great support on my back too! This has definitely made shopping easier! I always get asked where I get it too!

Beauty vid! Just picking up a 525 EXC and wanted to figure out a way to haul it behind my Truck, Perfect!

[@Ambrose_j_smith]

Thanks man! I’m getting a 2014 KTM XCF-W 350 tomorrow and got a hitch just like yours and wasn’t exactly sure how to mount it.

Hahaha

[@georgehamilton842]

I am a truck driver and if it can move an inch it can move a mile. That might not fall off 99.9 percent of the time but it’s a little loose.

[@Dastardly_X]

Good one, Thanks ‼ 🌟

Nice view of Penticton there. cheers

[@Jeremyford1973]

Nice work, but you should really leave your bike in gear when its on the rack. Dont ask me how i know this.....

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

I learned the hard way as well. Definitely put your bike in gear when it's on the rack.

[@crystalclearlightingelectr3263]

Ok i know its been two years since your post but i di have a serious question as to what this actually does i feel like its kind of something i would do anyways but as a beginner motorcycle hitch carrier owner i would like to know the issue with not putting it in gear

[@angrystreaming2624]

​@@crystalclearlightingelectr3263prevents it from rolling around, having it in gear will keep the tires locked up

[@byronlemay2166]

Next set of tires look at the Cooper Discoverer ATX3. I have a big camper like you and those tires transformed the truck. Not all E rated tires are the same. The Coopers and the BF TA are the two go-to for sidewall strength and stability. The Duratracs are good tires...just not as good as the other two.

[@Wreckhouse69]

I think putting them over grips or space on handlebar where flush and flat is much more secure

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

It's definitely better. It loads the front and the rear suspension better than the way this guy did it. There's no need for a second pair of straps for the rear if you do it over the handlebars correctly. Also he should leave the bike in gear once it's on the rack. These racks are low profile enough that you do not have to power the bike up onto the rack. But I do understand in this situation since he's in deep snow which adds a lot of resistance.

[@FreedoomRock]

Great video, the first one that pops on when looking for how to tie down a dirt bike, thanks man! I would like to know the length of the straps i need?

[@SarasotaTim]

Dude that's some real nice looking riding gear you're wearing. I'd like to have that to match my Honda CRF250L its a dual sport and mostly ridden around town for now but I want to go out west soon and ride some easy stuff. I live in Boynton bch Florida so no hills here lol Also just picked up a MotoTote carrier for the back of my 4Runner, got off Craigslist and only paid $250 for it with the lights on the back too! Anyway I'm gonna be sport'n a cool look with my Honda on the back of my Red 4R now I need some gear to wear like you have. I'll look SWAT hahah check my channel sometime Sarasota Tim (just moved to Boynton so now my channel name makes no since but what can I do 😎

[@Partnerthedog]

I have crf250l 2017 also!

[@keithert]

Why did you put the ratchet strap on the back and the cam buckle on the front? I'd think the front would be more important and the ratchet strap would be less likely to loosen.

[@irnieracing]

Works Best. The Ratchet straps actually do loosen up while the cam buckle on front holds really well. It's easy to compress front suspension first with cam buckle. Once I find the right balance, I then move to the center frame strap and ratchet it tighter.

[@Espinal_424]

@@irnieracingwhere’d you get the straps from?

[@tambosnipes1652]

Damn man i used to watch you when you where racing around in your truck and sleeping in it badically im saying uts been a while

[@zzim2853]

Where did you get that receiver extension system? I looks a little more detailed than just the obvious Princess auto extension device. Thats a very long length. Any issue's with that over time? cheers.

[@irnieracing]

The 4" extension is called the "Supertruss" by Torklift. The Supertruss goes into the Super Hitch by Torklift.

[@FreedoomRock]

Would have been great if you had a link for the straps on Amazon, i would have bought it from you..

[@irnieracing]

Bought the KTM branded straps at my KTM dealer VMS in west Kelowna

[@lumbum_]

Cmon man just show us how to do it

[@Hoeckel13]

Hi! Can you link or tell what brand cover you have on your bike for traveling? Thanks

[@irnieracing]

some generic China branded bike cover from Canada's Princess Auto.. You can do much better than this cover.. Cheers

[@ChumiStu]

Are you doing any road/track racing this year?

[@irnieracing]

Canada/ USA ground Border is on lockdown as long as the "magic virus" keeps running rampant. Racing in Canada is no better with ridiculous local restrictions on outdoor club events where no crew or spectators/family are allowed to join WMRC events.. Just signed up racers. The mission raceway track (check my videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4i3pYljgpxjj80 ) is not of much interest to me, and without ability to have friends join in to make it fun, I have no interest. Hopefully the border opens up in 2021, but not likely.

Where did u get the saddle bags?

@@irnieracing hell yes thank you brother.. ride safe

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

I guess it makes sense to power it up there in the snow. In general, it's easy to push it up there without power, but that snow was a little deep, and adds a lot of resistance. Also, the rear tie downs are totally unnecessary and are overkill. I run my straps over the handlebars, instead of the forks. This gives me more than enough tie down force on the front and rear suspension. The bike isn't coming off at all. I had a blowout at 90 mph with my bike on the back of my gen 3 explorer. Bike didn't move an inch. Get you some forksavers if you are worried about damaging your fork seals from tying it down. Either way it goes, the straps that you are using for the rear can be ditched. All they are doing is adding to your time. Also do not forget to put the bike in first gear after you strap it down.

[@irnieracing]

one strap lets go and bike is dragging on the pavement. The 2nd set of frame mounted tie towns are for safety, not necessity.

[@heXbelongs2me]

oh

[@4estrnr472]

when transporting do you put it in gear or leave it in neutral

[@irnieracing]

Usually neutral as I pushed it up, but sometimes in gear because I used the engine to help mount. Doesn't matter, not going anywhere.

[@4estrnr472]

@@irnieracing good to know thank you

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

Always leave it in gear after it's on the rack. It will keep the bike more secure. It helps especially if you go over a huge bump that might compress the suspension enough for the bike to roll. If you keep it in gear it keeps that from happening. Ask me how I know!

[@darcygibbons3836]

Only a kook would buy Hankook! 😂

[@chadfe]

Came to see how you tied your bike down and you put in a bunch of footage of horses and yourself riding. Get to the point

[@420BLUNTLEY]

How did you get a hitch extension that long ?
