A2Difficulty 2/5

Can carrying luggage on the motorcycle affect its stability?

Correct answer

Yes; distribute and secure it properly to reduce its effects.

Yes. Added mass and its position change load distribution and can affect handling and balance. Secure and distribute luggage according to the manual, respecting the motorcycle’s and carriers’ load limits. Adjust tyre pressures and suspension when specified by the manufacturer and adapt your riding. Side-mounted luggage does not eliminate its effects.
