If you slice a tire, you can use some bailing wire (thin gauge bare steel wire) and a lighter to 'stitch up' the slice. then use lots of rubber cement (it's the perfect lubricant to help a tire plug slide into a tire properly) and put multiple plugs in between the wire stitches. Especially if you have a small 12V compressor to refill the tire! I have done this before on dry rotted atv tires that kept splitting. None of my 'stitch' repairs leaked again, but new spots opened up. Couple minutes with some wire, some sliced strips off the cuff of my bluejeans (we had all ready used up all the 'tire plugs'). Smeared them thick with rubber cement (and then permatex ultra black when the cement ran out) we kept riding all day long! Small spool of mechanics wire and a tube of permatex along with that tire kit and you can essentially rebuild any frigged up tire!
Great advice with the exception to: the trailer's tongue unit is a "coupler" ..... the "receiver" is the square tube portion of the hitch., Also...... and this can be important........ Bearing Buddies DO NOT add grease to the bearings! SureLube, SuperLube or EZLube spindles/hubs will add grease to the bearings!
Hi Dave, it would be great if you could upload a video of how to correctly adjust center and back suspension on Free Ride 2014. I think it would be very useful for all free ride riders since it is very important in order to be able get the most out of the sled and there is no useful videos on the internet. Many thanks and all the best riding this season:)

Your supposed to cross the chains so it will cradle the hitch if it comes off.

Milan Djakov No useful videos on the net?? What internet are you using?
should have flipped the hitch, "Even towing is safe towing"
Spent 3/4 on how to use a trailer…:
