tow capacity

[Mikel14]

as the title is about, just wondering if anyone knows what the tow capacity for a 1984 klt200 is. ive tried looking everywhere but can't find anything. thanks

You can try looking for OEM decal replicas, if you can't find the info anywhere else. If it had a rated tow capacity, it probably had a decal near the hitch.

Pretty sure its basically the same as a ATC200, its been years since i have seen one in person but i recall the hitch having a decal on it that had the rated capacities. I want to say its something like 700lbs rated towing capacity and 120lbs drawbar weight... But thes are just from the fuzzy confines of my memory.

Just so you know, I knew a guy who thought he could load up his 16ft trailer with firewood and haul it with his 300cc Honda 4 wheeler, he got up to speed on a dirt road and it began to fishtail, at about 15/20 mph, it jackknifed and put him, the bike and trailer in the ditch, totaled the atv, put him in the hospital for a week. broken arm and collar bone. Now this guy was stupid.

As a rule I try not to pull more than I can stop, I let my brakes be the threshold of safety.
If the bike weights 350lbs I would not want to pull more than double that, say 750 lbs. that may be to conservative
but I am not as young as I use to be. You would be asking your factory braking system to stop 3 times what it is designed for.

Just something to consider.
