Re: bike gets wobly wheeling

If it wobbles set it down.

Wobbles are usually cause by a shot rear tire, to high psi in the rear tire, or not being smooth on the throttle. I run my rear at 20lbs on a pirelli diablo & I am smooth & I can ride out wheelies alot faster than that with no wobbles.

Re: bike gets wobly wheeling

roll out of the throttle just a bit to bring front wheel down SOME and come back up it will fix ur problem while teachin you to balance your wheelies and slow them down a bit ,pressure never made a difference to me ,doin what i said made me learn to balance them and slow em down ,once you slow them down theyll quit wobbling

Re: bike gets wobly wheeling

it could also be low tire pressure.... that causes major wobbles......

Re: bike gets wobly wheeling

I would vote for adjusting the tire pressure a little up and down and see if that helps.

Re: bike gets wobly wheeling

I think most everyone covered it already. Make sure you are being smooth on the throttle and if that doesn't help then check your tire pressure and adjust it a little up or down, depending.

Re: bike gets wobly wheeling

Wobbles are just a normal part of a high speed wheelie. I get crazy *** wobbles for no reason at all.. just roll with it and it will smooth itself out and you'll look like a gangster instead of a tool for setting it down.

higher psi works great, I run around 20 right now... you usually never have to chop at high speeds, just a constant rpm that u can adjust up or down without shutting the throttle down.
