I think it may be airodynamics. So post up guys.

Z-UNIT

dont think so, ive gotten wobble on full fairing, comp naked with only an acerbis headlight, and with sides on and no upper, its not arrow dynamics its throttle control...thorttle jockies get wheelie wobble all the time, the rest of us get itonce and a while, and most prolly dont even notice it now cus u jsut ride through it, i kno it doesnt even phase me anymore if i get it

"Wheelie wobble" comes from not adjusting properly to the movements of the bike....(or mopeds just to keep it non-biased )
If you just stay as dead weight on the bike the bike will controll you, instead of you controlling the bike.
The lower the weight on the bike (closer to the rear) the worse the wobble, because you have more leverage on your bike.
All you have to do is correct the wobble before it gets out of shape, and that gets easier the more you practice....There ya go.... just my

no wobble is from throttle control, if you are not smooth it will get nasty because of the way the motor tourqes, ever look at a motor in a car when some one revs it up yeah it moves, same with a bike so if in wheelie at bp if you are not smooth it will wobble make sense

TL MILLER

mine was only during sitdowns. movin side to side to get a better view

You left out the "none of the above" option. It's from CHOPPY THROTTLE, not wind, gear, fairing, bike, tire, etc....

The only time i get any wheelie wobble (slow) is when i wheelie with a babe on my back(and no they arn't fat chicks). usually during slow sit downs when the tire pressure is pretty high. I'm pretty sure its where the weight is placed. On slow stand-ups i can control it or ride out of it, yeah it ocurs when when u get to sloppy.

RCAllDay

Yeah!

Thought so too, but check this. Yesterday, I did a fiew wheelies, 80-100mph. Sit down sometimes, but hardly ever standing. One of the last ones I did was smooth as silk, nuts against the gastank, front up high, throttle still, and it started after about 30 sec at about 90. I stayed smooth to ride it out and shiat became so bad that when I brought it down, I wanted to pull over, catch my breath and say a prayer for makin' it back. It was pretty windy, thinkin, maybe the wind efected the bottom fairing, making the bike dance like Britney Spears in fast forward.

Im with Kyle. Thats primarily doing staggered standups, because your weight shifts left-right a little as the wheelie moves up and down. Im sure you've noticed that seat standers dont wobble no matter how choppy you are. unless you want them to.

A strong cross wind can make you make the bike wobble because you have to shift your weight off center to compensate.

I was told the same thing! I asked why when going really slow my wheelies would start wobbling, I was told I have to move around on the bike to adjust. So ever since then I started moving a little to compensate, and of course work on throttle control and I havent had any real problems with it since.:YEAH

twinisin

That actually makes sence. That would explain why it happens more to a full faired bike as opposed to nakid. I want to eliminate the choppy throttle/rough brake since I never used a rear brake in my life. Eveyone's got their own style. I hope this pole lasts a while to get some more comparisons on bikes.

nobody mentioned road surface.

i live on a highly traffic road and when i do long wheelies down it, there is certain parts that are grooved (almost like ruts) that you can go in and out of so it def. makes you wobble.

usually poor throttle control

i have had problems with 1 shinko drag tire i had on my bike it was garbage

twinisin

good point. Though I am trying to determine if wind/air resitance and airodynamics can play a part in the mysterious wobbles, not the obvious ones. I ride everyday, rain or shine, and sometimes strange unexplainable shiat happens, like a out-of-nowhere wobble on a windy day.

hose

thats very true. some spots can be rough the bike will follow in the ruts and make for wobble or throw u off balance or make u go to the wrong side of the road or making u have to put it down

blacklincoln

my staggard stance weave a little bit but i woulnt call them a wobble..

Metzger

i've had one bad wobble and it was a second gear sitdown with a choppy throttle at high rpms, on a streetfighter 636 with a partial lower fairing. in fact, here's video footage of it. such a squid mistake...
