Without pictures it makes it hard to fully understand the issues.
Could the Spyder have a sensor that kills the engine if the bike tilts beyond a set degree?? (Just a wild guess).

Are you telling us that the Spider "High Centers" when you try to load it? I had a friend that had a show bike that was real low. We had to get him half way up the ramp and then three of us lift the gate a few inches so that he wouldn't drag bottom as he entered the trailer.

I like the Spyders. Good for old guys with bad knees like me but my riding days are over.

Don't mind the Harley guys here.
Just remember Harley guys....

Now you're showing your age. Since the EVO's (early 90's) the leakage problem has been solved. My 2 (96 Sporty & 97 Electraglide) never did leak.

Oh and Harleys never did leak, They marked their territory.

How can a Spyder Can AM stall on an incline :H

What 'gap' between ramp and hauler?

Better description of issue or pictures would help with solution(s)/ideas.
Is it time for your medication or mine?

because of low clearance or no traction

I had a toy hauler way back when, and I put a piece of diamond plate aluminum 12" wide across the gap and attached it with a couple of hinges, so when the ramp was down the gap was covered...also had 2 barrel bolts attached to the ramp to keep the aluminum plate folded in place when the ramp was up.

That doesn't make sense. Are you saying that the incline of the ramp is somehow cutting the fuel supply to the engine off? If so, maybe low on fuel is all I can think. Do you have pics?
