Just bought my first ever single axle cargo trailer (6x10) to carry one large motorcycle. Manual says put 60% of weight in front of axle; 40% behind. If I put the front wheel in the nose, the rear wheel ends up on or just behind the axle. Seems like I should set the chock back a foot or two to get more of the bike over the axle; otherwise I can't get 40% in the rear. Will put the rear of the bike near the ramp door. Or maybe on such a small trailer it doesn't matter with a 700 pound motorcycle? Any trailer experts out there?
