Can carrying luggage on a motorcycle affect its stability?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Any variation in the weight distribution of a motorcycle directly affects its stability and driving technique. For this reason, luggage must be placed in the location that least alters the vehicle's balance. The most ideal place is usually on the fuel tank, using a tank bag. In this position, the weight is located near the center of gravity and minimally affects the bike's dynamics.
