Correct answer
Secure the load balanced and close to the bike’s centre, respecting load limits.
Secure it firmly, balanced and close to the motorcycle’s centre, within the vehicle and accessory load limits. Place heavier objects low and lighter objects above them where the luggage system permits. Added weight can change handling, braking and stability. Adapt your riding and follow the manufacturer’s loading, tyre and suspension instructions. A tank bag does not guarantee that the motorcycle will behave as if unloaded.
