1st thing you would want to do IF you trailer this way is take the Belt OFF the bike, secure it away from the rotating tire and pulley. It keeps your belt and pulley(s) and entire drive train and engine from rotation and wear lube or no lube.
Only the tire and rear wheel bearings are getting UNDULY excessive wear.
You have more weight on the rear than under normal riding condition regardless of what you think you have on the tongue. and you expose your bike to all kinds of nasty things that come off the back of your tow vehicle.
if your just trying to pull it for cheap bux, (not too smart as you have a lot of investment in that bike) ther are dozens of cheap trailers for the cost of 2 mc tires.
and I imagine backing up would be not kind to your bike steering head, etc..
