Wheelie Trouble

Seems like I've been swerving left to right while in a wheelie alot.May be a dumb question , but does anyone know what could cause this. I have never had this problem in the past. already wrecked once because of it. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Wheelie Trouble

Riding the streets with 20-25 prolly isn't the best pressure to run at.. run about 30-35psi and get used to it.. "30 is the new 10"

Re: Wheelie Trouble

Re: Wheelie Trouble

sounds like you might be chopping the throttle too much. Throttle chop can create wobbles

Re: Wheelie Trouble

Yea throttle control because the chop causes you to shift your wieght around.

used to get wobbles when i would go full throttle when i was doing 2nd gears. would have throttle pinned and go all out bike would accelerate like crazy and wobble. but like they said throttle control.
