Video Transcript for Rage Motorcycle Carrier Review
Alright today we are going to review motorcycle carrier part number MX600 from Rage PowerSport Products. Alright, this motorcycle carrier is designed for one motorcycle. It does come with a self storing ramp to help load up the bike. It comes with two tie-down points, one for the outboard and one for the inboard. It features all steel construction with a powder coat finish on it. And the pins themselves, make it adjustable for different bikes, are galvanized and so are the tie-down points. The last feature about this rack is it does come standard with an anti-rattle device. The carrying capacity of this motorcycle rack is rated up to 600 pounds. 00:45
We will go ahead and attach it with a 5/ 8 inch hitch pin. You can also use your favorite locking pin too. Then next we will slide on our anti-rattle device. Make sure the screws are undone completely so we can slide it underneath the collar of the hitch. When you tighten up the bolts, probably not all of these are going to catch because of the different types of hitches that are out there and different clearances. Get as many as you can to grab a hold of the hitch. It also has adjustable pins where the tires go so you can adjust for different size tires on your motorcycle. I am planning on doing the same thing for the other side too. Alright, next we will go ahead and remove the ramp and get it ready. There are two wing nuts that hold it in place. Alright, and with this model we can actually install the ramp on either side, whichever is easier for you. OK, you can see that the peg on the ramp will actually fit in the hole right here. And we will just it in there. And we are ready to load up our bike. 2:35
To tie your bike down, you can use your favorite tie-downs. In this case we are going to be using part number 06303 from Erickson Manufacturing. We are actually going to use this strap here, which will attach to the motorcycle handle bars, and then our favorite tie-down hook will go through here. Hook it through one and then through the other. Take the other half and take it down to the tie-down point right here. And then just tighten it up. Now, we are just going to snug it up cause we actually need to leave it loose just a little bit so we can roll the bike forward to get the ramp off of the carrier. OK, and repeat the same process on the other side of the handle bars. Now we will just kind of grab the bike and roll it forward just a little bit. And just pull out the ramp. Now we will go ahead and restore the ramp and then we will go ahead and tie-down the motorcycle for good. In just a few minutes, we have our motorcycle already loaded and ready to hit the trail. And there you have it for part number MX600 from Rage PowerSport Products.

Do you have a question about this Hitch Cargo Carrier?
- What Parts are Needed to Put a Motorcycle Carrier on the Front of My 2003 Chevrolet 1500
- Provided you have the clearance, all you need is a front mount hitch on your truck to use a cargo carrier. Most of the front mount hitches for full size trucks have a maximum cargo capacity of 500 pounds or the vehicle front Gross Axle Weight Rating, whichever is less. That means that the cargo carrier or bike carrier and anything on it, cannot exceed the weight capacity.
I have included a link to a page with all of the front mount hitches available for your truck. You will need to choose you

- Will the Rage # MX600 Motor Scooter Carrier Work with a 2005 Yamaha Vino 125 Scooter
- Yes, the motorcycle carriers should work but with the 10 inch wheel and tire combination on your Vino, you may have to do a bit of adjustment for the wheels to fit between the rungs of the carrier properly.
I checked the specs of the Vino and it weighs 166 pounds dry weight, so it would weigh about 200 pounds overall. It is 66 inches long overall so you should be able to use the Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier for 2 inch Hitch Receiver - 600 lbs, item # MX600, with no problems.

- Will Front Tire Size 120/70-ZR17 and Rear Tire Size 180/55-ZR17 Fit on MX600
- After doing a little research (I checked tire codes with the information you provided) I have determined that your motorcycle tires will fit on the Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier # MX600. The front tire should measure about 4-3/4 inches wide and the rear about 7 inches wide. Both tires should be on 17 inch wheels.
120 (180 for rear) equals width of tire in millimeters
70 (55 for rear) equals ratio of height to width (aspect ratio)
ZR is the speed rating (greater than 150 mph)

- Will a 2009 Yamaha Zuma Scooter Fit on Motorcycle Carrier MX600
- Motorcycle carrier part # MX600 would work well for your 2009 Yamaha Zuma scooter.
The carrier has a track length of 76-3/4 inches, which would give plenty of room for 50.2 inch wheelbase on the Zuma.
Your stock tires should be 4-7/8 inches wide in front and 5-1/4 inches in the rear, which would work with the 5-1/2 inch track width on the carrier, unless you have installed wider tires.
With the weight of oil and gas included, the scooter weight should be around 207 pounds which would

- Is there a Front Mount Hitch for a 2003 Dodge 3500 Van, Other Options for Carrying a Scooter
- The weight of the carrier plus the weight of the scooter would push the limits of most front mounted hitches. With that being said, there are no front mounted hitches available for your 2003 Dodge 3500 Van.
We do have a rear mounted hitch that has more than enough capacity for the scooter plus the rack. But I am assuming the issue is that you cannot carry the scooter on the back for any number of reasons. But if you are open to the option, look at the Valley Trailer Hitch, # V81970. This hitc

- Will Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier, Part # MX600 Accommodate 10 Inch Wide Rear Tire
- The Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier, part # MX600 will accommodate motorcycles with tires up to 5-1/2 inches wide. It does not appear that this carrier will work for you.
One option that might work for you is the Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Caddy, part # RHMC2. This item would mount into the 2 inch receiver, and hold the front wheel of your cycle. If the front wheel is 16-21 inches in diameter and is no more than 5-1/2 inches wide, this Caddy would work for you.

- Can I Use Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier MX600 to Transport a Yamaha Zuma on a Land Rover
- The 49cc Yamaha Zuma has a 50.2 inch wheel base and the rear tire is 5.12 inches wide. The scooter itself weighs about 175 pounds. We can say an extra 25 pounds for fuel, oil, and whatever cargo you put under the seat for a total weight of 200 pounds.
The track length and width will accommodate your scooter and 200 pounds is well under the weight limit on the rack. Just make sure you have a good set of ratchet straps, like part # 1151801, to secure the scooter on the carrier.

- Will The Rage MX600 Motorcycle Carrier Transport a 2010 KTM 250 XC on a 2003 Nissan Xterra
- You should have no problem using this on a back of a 2003 Xterra as long as it has a 2 inch receiver hitch. Make sure that the combined weight of the carrier (65 pounds) and the KTM 250 XC (215.20 pounds). Check the hitch markings and the Xterra owner manual to make sure it has at least a 290 pound tongue weight capacity.
We recommend using ratchet straps, like part # 1151801, to secure a motorcycle to these carriers.

- Will Rage Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600, fit On Jeep YJ And Carry 300 Pound Scooter
- The Rage Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600, is designed to carry motorcycles with the engine located in the center of the bike because the weight is then evenly distributed on the carrier. On the rear engine scooter over 300 lbs. the weight is all towards the rear of the scooter, so when it is put on the carrier that weight puts stress all on one side of the carrier.
Also the tongue weight capacity of a Class III hitch for your Jeep YJ is 350 lbs. With the tongue weight being at 350 lbs. that would

- Will a 250 Pound Vespa Fit on Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier MX600
- A 250 pound Vespa should be fine. The reason that limit is there is that all of the 300+ pound scooters Rage tested used rear tires that were too wide for the ramp and tray. The tray can accommodate tires up to a maximum of 5-1/2 inches wide. If you want, measure the tires on your Vespa and make sure they are not wider than 5-1/2 inches at their widest.

- What Is Weight of Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600
- The weight of the Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600, is 64 lbs. This carrier is to be used with a 2 inch receiver hitch, it will not work on a 1-1/4 inch hitch.
If you add the weight of this carrier (64 lbs.) and the weight of your Schwinn scooter (213 lbs.) it will total 277 lbs. This will be more than the tongue weight capacity of your hitch, so it is not recommended.

- I have spoken with my contact at Rage PowerSport before about the Yamaha Zuma. The MX600 will accommodate a 49cc Zuma. Jut make sure you are within the tongue weight capacity of the truck and the hitch. Remember tongue weight is the combined weight of the carrier, Zuma and anything in the Zuma.
Make sure to use a good set of ratchet straps to secure the Zuma to the carrier. Part # 1151801 would work pretty well.

- I would not attempt to carry a 2002 Shadow Spirit 750 on the Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier for 2 inch Hitch Receiver - 600 lbs, item # MX600. Your best bet for transporting your motorcycle would be a small trailer. There are simply too many variables with a street bike that size, and you may have trouble with the spare tire on the Jeep.

- Based on the information I was able to gather on a 2000 Kawasaki KLR250, I believe that it will fit on the Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600. Your 2006 Jeep Liberty will need to have a Class III or higher 2 inch trailer hitch receiver with a tongue weight capacity of at least 500 pounds in order for the rack to work.
