Wheelie wobbles ****!!

 

exactly right..

its surprising how much throttle smoothness affects side to side stability

very smooth throttle is the key to lots of tricks, its the absolute key to nohanders

 

man, you could jump of that at that speed. I wish my wobbles were that slow. It looks like you guys havi' fun. Tried to fugure out where you filmed that.

 

sanford area. you might have recognized that road.

 

I assume you are probably talking about wobbles during high speed wheelies 70+ mph. the only times I have gotten them is with real new back "STREET" tire that is real round with stock pressure in it while standing on the passenger pegs. I find that letting off the throttle slightly to let it tip down a little straitens it back up. other than that it could be something to do with traction also because I don't expierence the same feelings on "TRACK" tires at all during highspeed wheelies. it's allway best to burn a little bit of flat spot in the center and lower pressure a little.

 

I even thought it might be that the rear tire is not balanced since I don't bother to. Definitly high speed stuff.

 

I thought it could be back tire balance at one point also, but once you burn out one time you're off balance anyways. I'm thinking it could be a traction kind of thing. I've never had the wobble from a Metzeler rennsport or from a michelin pilot power race, but I have had the wobbles like that at high speed from dunlop 208's and from the battleaxe. somebody told me to burn out the street tires once before some long wheelies to make it sticky and it seems to help lots. I'm going slow now 'm just trying to pass the info along cause it hurts going down at 70+ and it could kill you.

 

being smooth on the throttle is the key to no handers? I thought it was brake control and turing the idle up. How exactly are you smooth on the trhrootl when your hands aren't touching the bike?

 

haha yea i get ya
i said smoother throttle is the key to side to side stability,
smooth brake application is the biggest secret to no handers

 

who put this thred up hardly ever get wobble went for a ride today got the wobbles and came down HARD bent my ****ing forks i blame this thread
and its to do with body weight one would think

 

The only time I have gotten it was my own fault, from chasing BP and not be fluid on the bike.

 

yeah it also depends on the bike too, my f4i i never get it, but my 636 wobbles constantly, even when my legs are locked, and im not moving the throttle at all.

it doesn't bother me, but everyone says it looks like im gonna crash at any second which is cool i guess

 

i wouldn't really call it wobble, more like oscillating...

it will move back and forth about 4 or 5 inches really quick then i'll correct it


oh well it never got out of hand so i dont see anything wrong with it, i gotta move around a lot to take corners and compensate for raises in the pavement and **** like that so of course my bike isn't gonna be taht stable, not to mention im on a top heavy race bike with race suspension

 

Heres one I havent figured out yet..

In 3rd, never any wobbles whatsoever. 40 mph up to 90ish it stays smooth.

4th gear, i bring up at 60+ and it starts wobbling immediately. Even if i slow it down to way under 40, **** still wobbles.

 

Ahahahahahaaa!!! Arrow-Dynamics, hahahaha!

 

Reason for my inquiry. I learned christs at 40mph+. A bit shaky, but fun, especialy above 60mph. One day, I instaled a front fairing and realised that the bike felt so smooth, I wasn't sure the engine was running. Maybe the same thing applies to highway wheelies. The motion of the air keeping the bike in place.

 

Sit down steve, coz its got F(_)ck all to do with each other.
A CARs engine rotates AGAINST the direction in which the car moves, thus rocking it side to side.
A MOTORBIKEs engine........if you ever looked closely...........rotates in the SAME direction in which the bike will travel.
You'll, have a whale of a time driving a streetbike with the motor turned 90 deg in the frame.
Wobbles comes from a group of factors. IE Wind, road surface, weight distribution, SLIGHTLY untrue rear wheel etc.

 

Arrow dynamics......WTF.
Or Freaktion in the rear bearings.
Could also be because of white-distribution on the pegs.
Or maybe a guru-effect from the motor

 

i only experience wobble on rough back roads or roads with groves, or if my tires has to much pressure, i use the wobble to help me steer though (controled wobble i guess)

 

i get it when im butchering the throttle.
