Comment

Too heavy a load at the rear of the motorbike puts too little weight on the front tyres and steering. This makes it easier for the bike to wobble and oscillate. Differently loaded sides have a negative effect on stability and handling. The motorbike will lean more towards the heavier side when braking or cornering. Light luggage in the tank bag does not affect the riding stability of the motorbike.
