Re: wheelie
It's called headshake, it happens when you set one down and your bars are slightly crossed headshake can also occure durring cornering or heavy accelaration even during an endo. Basically it happens when there is a weight transfer on the bike and the front tire gets light and gets the "shopping cart effect". I came up with this lable myself because it's the easiest way to explain headshake. Next time your at the grocery store you'll see at least one shopping cart with a front wheel thrashing from side to side. The reason it does this is because the other three wheels are set at a different height. The wobbly one is just skimming the ground, as it skimms the ground it shakes from side to side. The cart never goes out of control because there is a person pushing it straight and at low velocity. There are three ways to remidy the effect. I highly recomend all three.
1. Make sure your front end is straight when you set down.
2. If it goes into headshake, DON'T vice down on the bars. If you do then the headshake will turn into a tank slapper. If your body is rigid, your own body will work like a conductor, transmitting the front end shake to the rear tire, if the rear tire goes out of control,,,your pretty much screwed depending on how violent the shake is.
3. A steering damper can greatly reduce the effect of headshake. If you have a stock steering damper,, upgrade it.
Good luck.
