Unlike a four-wheeler that has ample space for any luggage you might want to transport from one place to another, your bike is not equipped for any such function. If the load is too heavy, imbalance is always a possibility. However, small loads can be carried with caution.

Proper positioning and fastening of the load is a must. Try keeping the load light and low. Check it at every stop that you make for proper fastening and positioning.

The load should not be kept behind the rear wheel to avoid affecting the centre of gravity and balancing of the vehicle.

Though most of us do not care to go through the owner's manual, it is extremely important that you consult it before carrying any kind of loads on it. Do not keep the objects in separate bags but encase them in one so that you can easily manage them. Also, an uneven load will cause the bike to lean on one side, making it dangerous.
