Re: Wheelie wobble experiment
dont think so, ive gotten wobble on full fairing, comp naked with only an acerbis headlight, and with sides on and no upper, its not arrow dynamics its throttle control...thorttle jockies get wheelie wobble all the time, the rest of us get itonce and a while, and most prolly dont even notice it now cus u jsut ride through it, i kno it doesnt even phase me anymore if i get it

Re: Wheelie wobble experiment
"Wheelie wobble" comes from not adjusting properly to the movements of the bike....(or mopeds just to keep it non-biased )
If you just stay as dead weight on the bike the bike will controll you, instead of you controlling the bike.
The lower the weight on the bike (closer to the rear) the worse the wobble, because you have more leverage on your bike.
All you have to do is correct the wobble before it gets out of shape, and that gets easier the more you practice....There ya go.... just my

no wobble is from throttle control, if you are not smooth it will get nasty because of the way the motor tourqes, ever look at a motor in a car when some one revs it up yeah it moves, same with a bike so if in wheelie at bp if you are not smooth it will wobble make sense

Re: Wheelie wobble experiment
The only time i get any wheelie wobble (slow) is when i wheelie with a babe on my back(and no they arn't fat chicks). usually during slow sit downs when the tire pressure is pretty high. I'm pretty sure its where the weight is placed. On slow stand-ups i can control it or ride out of it, yeah it ocurs when when u get to sloppy.

A strong cross wind can make you make the bike wobble because you have to shift your weight off center to compensate.

I was told the same thing! I asked why when going really slow my wheelies would start wobbling, I was told I have to move around on the bike to adjust. So ever since then I started moving a little to compensate, and of course work on throttle control and I havent had any real problems with it since.:YEAH

Re: Wheelie wobble experiment
nobody mentioned road surface.
i live on a highly traffic road and when i do long wheelies down it, there is certain parts that are grooved (almost like ruts) that you can go in and out of so it def. makes you wobble.

Re: Wheelie wobble experiment
i've had one bad wobble and it was a second gear sitdown with a choppy throttle at high rpms, on a streetfighter 636 with a partial lower fairing. in fact, here's video footage of it. such a squid mistake...
