If you already operate a heavier motorcycle such as a Harley-Davidson, You must be completely confident in your abilities before carrying passengers. However, hosting friends or family members on the back of your motorbike can make for a fun and truly rewarding trip.
Here is a guide that will help you drive with a passenger, as quoted by Otodiva.com from Motoress, that is:
Passengers Must Be Motorcycle Riders
It is best practice to ensure your first passenger is an experienced motorcyclist. Motorcyclists who are experienced as passengers can anticipate your movements and already know about good passenger protocols.
Prepare Your Motorcycle and Make Adjustments
The extra weight will affect how a motorcycle handles. It is important to adjust your tire pressure for the load. This is the same as when you will carry extra cargo. Consult your motorcycle owner's manual and make any necessary changes.
Briefing for Passengers Before Travel
Before your passengers get on your motorbike, brief them before traveling with them. Of course, you have provided or insured that they have complete riding equipment like you.
