axle provides superior suspension characteristics through the
unique arrangement to a steel bar surrounded by four natural rub-
ber cords, encased in the main structural member of the axle
beam. The wheel hub spindle is attached to a lever, called the tor-
sion arm, which is fastened to the rubber-encased bar. As a load
is applied, the bar rotates causing a rolling compressive
resistance in the rubber cords. The action provides the same func-
tions as a conventional leaf spring axle with several operation
advantages including independent suspension.
CHECK AND REPACK BEARINGS AFTER FIRST 1,000 MILES
AND EVERY 2000 MILES THERE AFTER.
Dual Rail Big Bike Transport-Carrying One or Two Big Bikes
Yes, you can safely and easily haul one or two motorcycles on the
Dual Rail Transport because of the independent suspension
offered by the torsion axle, even if you are transporting only one
motorcycle the independent suspension guarantees safe comfort-
able operation.
The independent lubrication
of the wheel bearing is easily
applied to the inner bearing
which travels to the outer
bearing providing ultimate
lubrication protection.
1. Remove rubber dust cap. You do not need to remove the hub to
repack bearings.
2. Zerk fitting inside.
3. Pump lube grease into fitting until overflow appears on the outer
bearing. Do not overfill excessively, inside bearing seal may push
out causing grease to escape and spill onto inner wheel.
4. Stop pumping-clean off excess.
5. Replace rubber dust cap.

Front Tie Down Procedure: Using heavy-duty ratchet-style tie down
straps, use the handlebar (if it is a solid bar-style handlebar) or
another strong and secure attachment location to compress the
front suspension of your motorcycle to 75% of its full travel. There
should be 25% of the motorcycle suspension travel remaining, but
it should be difficult to push the motorcycle suspension down fur-
ther with your hands. Ensure that the tie down hooks are com-
pletely engaged so that they cannot slip off. Use the front tie down
hook locations as shown on the drawing above. Rear Tie Down
Procedure: Attach two heavy-duty ratchet-style tie down straps to
frame locations on the left and right rear portion of the motorcycle.
If the tie down straps can be located so that they will not slip off, the
passenger foot pegs are often convenient. These should be con-
nected to the tie down hooks on the trailer axle and trailer bed (on
a Dual Rail trailer) as shown on the drawing above. This procedure
ensures that the rear wheel of the motorcycle is pulling down upon
& locking the rear folding section of the trailer in place so that it can-
not bounce when the trailer is in tow
.
