K75S stock. How to strap it to a Kendon trailer

[daveson]

yes! got it after the third attempt.

this is one of the funniest movies ever.

Wake turbulence is generated when a large and heavy moto is being towed by a larger automobile. The air surrounding the moto fairing flows in a straight and circular direction.
With the continued forward motion and circular directions this air becomes many spiral vortex. Spiral vortex seek areas of negative atmospheric pressure such as found in the cylindrical exhaust muffler. Spiral vortex will continue to rotate in the exhaust muffler relative to constant forward motion at constant velocity.

Another thing, one day, many moons ago, I had a bike on the trailer which I only tied down on the front, it seemed stable as. At one point I had to brake hard and looking in the mirror I saw the back wheel lift off the floor about four inches easy, so I had to back away from the brakes a bit. From then on I tie the back down too, just a bit. I try not to have too much pressure on the front either.

Not only do you have to worry about the dust being inhaled by the exhaust system, but you also need to unplug all the electronics.

As the bike is trailered, the wiring harness is moving through the earth's magnetic field inducing a current in the wires that gets into the engine control unit.  If the trailer is moving fast enough in an east/west direction that induced voltage can be high enough to damage the circuitry. 

It's a good idea to take the minute or two to unplug all the bike's electronics.  It also wouldn't hurt to build a Faraday Cage around the bike on the trailer, especially if you will be driving near or under high voltage power transmission lines.

How fast?

Ok, only cause I'm feeling generous.]]]

Also, take a minute of silence to remember all those who have gone before you.

Yes vacuum could cause dust to travel backward and circulate in the exhaust, why not? Open the rear window in your car going down a dirt road, eventually dust will be everywhere inside, so some of it will go backwards to the front dash cause of turbulence. I've already said it could be crap for all I know, that should be good enough, it's only a second to do, and there's no harm doing it. Saves getting dust in the exhaust which sometimes turns to mud. Probably good to do if it's raining too.

Why not? Basic physics. There is nothing that creates a vacuum in the exhaust. And even if there were there would be nowhere for air to flow through the system.

I'm leaving this thread now as you seem to be factose intolerant.

I was thinking with air rushing past the muffler at say 100km/h, that would result in reduced air pressure in the muffler and turbulence as it mixes with the outside air.

Maybe I'm wrong, dunno, but I know I'm right about driving down a dusty road with the rear window down.

It was not my intention to generate discord. I appreciate all suggestions; to the receiver is the task of implementing no, some, or all.  Now, the exhaust sucking air is quite something….

Thanks again to all.

Did I get here too late?

No, all are welcomed!
