i just got my 01 929 my gearing is stock i droped my psi to 25 in the rear for highway wheelies at about 60-80 mph i was doing fine all day at my bp then it started to wobble and it got worse and worse i put my left foot on the rear peg and the right on the front peg all the time what is the problem my positioning my psi my stance or what! please help before i over wobble and something BAAAAD happens thanks a lot guys!!!

 

i hear ya, on my 954 when it gets close to balance point it wobbles side to side pretty bad. im not moving my body, but im running probably high 30's psi in the rear. what can i do to fix this? lower psi?

 

i used to woblle bad when i got it to a certain point but i run about 20 psi and ive gotten smoother on the throttle i think that makes a big diff. just think when your on the throttle smooth opperator

 

20 psi is that good for 60-80 mph and are u runing stock or are u up in sprocket size!

 

no im stock sprocket on a f4i i just noticed that thats about right to help plus i just started learnin to slow stuff down but i ride highway like that too. so try like 25 20 and keep smooth on the throttle

 

i stay pretty smooth on the throtle but when it goes a little low i give gas to bring it back to bp how do i keep it at the bp all the time or is it normal that it drops a bit thanks! :YEAH

 

if its droppin when you let off a bit your not quite there yet or the wind is holdin you up and the wind lets off so you have to bring it up again but that could be it or you just need to keep on the throttle a lil more to keep it there

 

are u saying when im at my bp at 70mph and i let off the gas it shouldt come back down so u think im not there cuz i dont accelorate only when it comes down and bring it back up does it accelorate

 

when you get to were you can hold it at one speed then your there. but anyway try droppin the psi in the tire 5 pounds at a time till the wobbles go away it could be body position to but youll figure it out i went through the same thing till i got it down good luck any more ? just holla

 

when you first get a wobble, your body reacts, trying to correct the wobble, you will put more weight on one footpeg or the other, then it will wobble. If you focus and try to equally distribute the weight on your pegs they should go away, it works for me. also let air out of that tire if you want to go slower. i run 15 lbs on my 954 and have not gotten a wobble yet. for highway stand ups I stay in 3rd gear at about 60mph at 5000 rpms.

 

never had this prob. on a stand up, but it happens on sit downs once in awhile, im at 18 psi in the rear and it doesnt seem to happen as often on my 900rr. and never in a stand up. alot of times if your real high in the rpm's it will cause the wobble, try using a little back brake while your up to slow it down like 5mph and it should go away. IT DOESNT TAKE ALOT OF BACK BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN IF YOUR AT THE BALANCE POINT. just a little even pressure while your still on the throttle. you should be covering it anyways,

 

thanks dude ill try it today

 

The hight of the wheelie fluctuates with your throttle input. As it goes up, more of your weight goes to your left foot. When it goes down, your weight transfers to your right foot. Sudden left-right weight transfers start the wobble. So dont do that.

 

what psi should i run for highway then? i tried it with like 28 last night and it seemed more stable. also a lot of my wheelies are going to the left, im pretty sure its not my body position cuz i can hang to the right and it seems like it still goes left, could this be caused by uneven tire wear? anyone else's wheelies drifting??

 

i run 18psi all the time, and alot of times your hanging off the right wich means in advertantly your pressing on the left peg, causing you to drift left. instead of hanging off, try turning the bars the opposite direction you want the bike to go, this turns your shoulders to the side you want to go to and is usually more than enough to steer that bitch.

 

i dotn really want to turn the bars, if the wheelie comes down and bars are turned them im ****ed. il just try lower psi and making sure my body position is good
