Just in case anyone has a similar issue. I dont trailer the Xch very often, well actually this was the first time, but i used the rear subframe as a lashing point for my rear tie downs as it seemed a good place. Anyway got to the event i was going to and found that the tie down on the RHS was almost severed. Turns out there is a pretty sharp edge along the upper rear side of the subframe where it bolts at the bottom
. the bike wasnt going anywhere but i need a new tie down
