Hi Tanaka40
You are very close to the mark.
I've weighed the trailer and it come in at 25 kilos (unloaded) and i've carried two 20 litre Jerry Cans which would weigh around 40 kilos + the tool kit which weighs 10 kilos and the spare tyre.
I've realised i'm carrying more weight than i've assumed - 75 kilos (165 lbs).
No wonder the bike was working it's guts out (4 M/ph or 7 K/ph) in low range crawler gear up some of the hills i've got to travel.
One of the hills (more like a mountain climb) is a 25 minute ride in low range crawler 1st gear - that's a long time to be doing 4 miles an hour with the engine revving it's guts out with little or no airflow over the cooling fins.
