I'm looking at a hitch mounted front wheel tow bar that let's the rear wheel roll along the ground for towing my NC700X DCT. Does anyone know if it's alright to tow this transmission in neutral?

The steering geometry can get weird since the bike can't lean into the turns. And it could be nearly impossible to back up.I'm looking at a hitch mounted front wheel tow bar that let's the rear wheel roll along the ground for towing my NC700X DCT.

The motorcycle engine isn't driving the rear wheel, so there's no load on the chain or sprockets, they're just freewheeling. Same thing for the tires.

Yea, but still friction-metal on metal, even with chain lube. They maybe freewheeling but friction on being towed will still loose those miles from the life of the chain/sprockets. Plus, I would be worried the bike would jump out of neutral into gear.
