Motorcycle Weight Distribution Explained - Front & Rear Load Balance #3867630 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts a side-silhouette of a rider on a motorcycle with key forces labeled: total weight (W) acting downward through the bike’s center of gravity (CG), while upward reaction forces LF (front wheel load) and LR (rear wheel load) support the vehicle. The equation LF + LR = W confirms static equilibrium, crucial for analyzing stability, braking, acceleration, and cornering behavior. Red arrows indicate force directions and points of application relative to the contact patches.

Used in motorcycle dynamics, rider training, or engineering education content to explain load transfer principles; matches user intent seeking technical understanding of motorcycle handling, suspension setup, or safety fundamentals.
