I looked on the web and found the Toyota weight specs for your vehicle. They are:
Gross Front Axle Weight = 2755
Gross Rear Axle Weight = 3110
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating = 5450
Gross Combined Weight Rating = 8100
Max Trailer Weight without WD = 5000
Max Trailer tongue weight without WD = 500
Max Trailer Weight with WD = 6400
Max Trailer tongue weight with WD = 640
Note that after you made your link adjustment you're putting more weight on your front axle (2880) than the Toyota recommended max (2755).
Mainly note, however, that your current Total weight of 8700+ is already greater than the maximum Toyota calls for (8100); once you add your 1000 lb. motorcycle, plus probably another 300 - 800 lbs of "stuff", you're gonna be 2000 lbs or so over their maximum limit.
Bottom line, (assuming the Toyota numbers I found are correct) you need a bigger truck.
