What can cause a motorcycle to wobble?

Improper loading of your cargo can indeed cause a motorcycle to wobble. When cargo is not loaded properly, it can create an imbalance in the weight distribution of the motorcycle. This imbalance can affect the stability of the bike, especially during turns or when accelerating and decelerating. A motorcycle relies on a careful distribution of weight to maintain its balance; if the weight is unevenly distributed, it can lead to wobbling or an unstable ride.

In contrast, excessive speed on turns might contribute to a loss of control, but it is more closely associated with skidding or sliding rather than a wobble. Worn tires can impact handling and grip, but they are primarily linked to increased stopping distances and reduced traction rather than wobbling specifically. Riding with a passenger can change the dynamics of a motorcycle but is less likely to cause a wobble compared to the issues arising from improperly loaded cargo. Properly understanding and managing load distribution is crucial for maintaining stability and safety while riding.
