Correct answer
No; it can impair stability, and the manufacturer’s distribution instructions and limits must be followed.
No. Concentrating weight far to the rear can alter wheel loading and impair stability and steering. Use the intended luggage locations, secure the load and keep it as low and close to the centre of gravity as the design allows, following the handbook. Observe both the total load limit and the specific limit for each rack or accessory. Good distribution does not permit unlimited luggage, and an approved rear luggage carrier can be used within its conditions.
