Angry Standups Drifting to the Right

I'm doing them on the rear pegs, about 20 psi in the rear, 2000 F4, -1 +2, Alpinestar Jacket, Shoei Helmet, Joe Rocket Gloves, American Eagle Boots, and one Indian wrapped around the left rear view mirror. Enough info?


I tried shifting my body to the left but then the front tire starts to wobble and it still doesn't straighten up.

Why do they drift to the right?

my f4 does too, try to keep your arm straight, this will make it easier to control the bike while wheelieing.

you know what, My 99 F4 yanks to the right if I let go of the bars just goin down the street too. But the bike has NEVER been down and the tires bald out evenly so they are on there strait. I also noticed that my sitdown wheelies, though not perfected yet, often clutch up and imidiatly drift right........

probably the crown in the road. ALOT of the suface streets around here are bad like that.

Someone mentioned that but I really didn't believe that, maybe that's the culprit.

Crown does have a big effect on any motorcycle. Stoppie or wheelie, you will feel it there.

I'm a bit confused by that. The front wheel is in the air how does it wobble? Do you mean the whole bike starts to wobble? I've had that happen but never just the front tire.
