How should you adjust your riding when carrying a passenger?
With the additional weight of a passenger, a motorcycle will sit lower than normal, affecting its handling. To compensate, it's important to drive a bit more cautiously and reduce speed, especially when navigating curves, corners, or bumps. The increased weight will affect acceleration and braking, requiring more time to speed up, slow down, or come to a stop. Therefore, maintaining a larger safety buffer between vehicles is essential when carrying a passenger.
