Correct answer: Put about the same amount of weight in each bag.
Answer options
- AFill one bag all the way before using the other
- BPut about the same amount of weight in each bag Correct

When one saddlebag is heavier than the other, the motorcycle tends to drift toward that side and becomes harder to balance and steer. Divide the weight equally between the bags and keep heavy items low.
