A1Difficulty 2/5

When carrying luggage on a motorcycle, how should you position the heaviest items?

Correct answer

Securely fastened, balanced and near the centre, within permitted limits.

Securely fastened, balanced and close to the motorcycle’s centre, respecting the manufacturer’s limits and instructions for the vehicle and accessories. A tank bag is not suitable for every heavy load. Side cases may be used when approved and within their capacity and distribution limits; placing all the weight on one side can affect balance. Do not obstruct controls or visibility.
