The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT57MR has a vertical load limit of 500 lbs. As long as you are not exceeding the 500 lb limit you can use your carrier to carry your motorcycle. You are incredibly close at 515 lbs, so if you can find a way to reduce the weight by 15 lbs you will be able to carry your motorcycle safely.
