Startin to get wobble

I'm still learning here so i need some advice. I'm clutching it up in first gear from almost a standstill. The closer i get to the bp the more side to side wobble i get and I don't know why. I'm doing about 15-20 once its up. I can't seem to learn standups without feeling like i'm gonna fly off so these are all sitdowns. I tried tire psi from normal 30 down to 15psi and i still get it. Any thoughts?

Re: Startin to get wobble

Wobbles usually come from your body language. You are giving an input that is making it come up on an angle and you are trying to correct it, forcing a back and forth motion.

I know a couple of guys, myself included, that after playing with tire pressure helped a lot. If I run 30 I am straight, 25 gets shakey, 15 is terrible and 10 is money. Try very low pressure 10-8 for parkin lot pimpin.....

Could be rim, tire also..... Squeeze your knees in tight and try not to jerk your bike on the come-up.......

If your higher speed wheelies (20-30mph) are straighter, its you. Take your time and practice. Try slowing yourself down gradually so it is not such a huge difference.

I was rocking the lot last Sunday, super slow wheelies (still learning also) and got to scrapin my tail. Hit the brake and was thrown off like a kid tryin to get *** from a virgin on prom night..... Back still hurts.

Work on being smoother with your throttle hand. If your not smooth with the throttle it can cause some wobble
