Lean with the rider when going around bendsThis was the right answer

When you ride with a pillion passenger, your motorcycle may feel unbalanced and its acceleration and braking distance may also be affected. Make sure your passenger knows they must lean with you while cornering. If they don’t, they could cause the motorcycle to become unstable and difficult to control.
