Question:
Can I haul my 2009 R1200GS 505 lbs on my 2010 Nissan Xterra with my Curt receiver hitch? I would strip it down to the basic motorcycle and leave the tank empty. Is there a hitch that would allow me to haul it? Thanks. -

The hitch we offer that has the highest tongue weight capacity is the Curt Class III part # 13514 which has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity. Since your bike is 505 lbs and that's not including the weight of the carrier you'd have to go with a small trailer instead of the carrier.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C56225 which is a confirmed fit.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
