I think I found the real issue - I had not evened out the load in my bags the day the issue worried me. 
It also helps if you can keep heavy meals like dumplings, meatballs and lasagna in the center of your stomach.

And the left bag weighs more to offset the weight of the swingarm and the final drive...

I always balance my load with a 12-pack in each bag.

My Left testicle is heavier than the right to compensate for my right leg being 1cm shorter.  Helps with cruising
