2nd gear wheelie wobble
I can hit my bp on my second gear wheelie about 60mph but after i hit it my bike start walking left and right. It doesn't happen everytime but more often then not. I was wondering if its my stance. i'm most comfortable on my back pegs but i keep my legs slightly bent. i did'nt know if it was how i positioned my self. and i just put new tires on it a week ago....cause i had a very bald tire and i thought maybe that was it. any help to cure the wobble

Re: 2nd gear wheelie wobble
I did read that other guys kinda same question but there was'nt really and answer. I don't have a problem with bp. and it should not be my throttle contol.. cause i'll be running steady for a little bit then it will start walking left and right.... could be one of those but i did'nt think so. i also run my tire at 30 psi

lean back... i straiten out my legs and lean back but i do staggard wheelies... and wobble imo comes from your body position.... i noticed when i have to work to get it to my bp it starts to wobble.... just work on gettin it to your bp nice and smooth and quick....that works for me!! :YEAH

I have an CBR600RR in when I wheelie slow it wobbles like crazy. But people told me the It was from me looking side to side. Also it can come from throttle chopping or being on the gas or brake to much.

no... it's because your a squid and need to learn....60 in second is way too fast and your only power wheeling " not BP" BP in second is creeping around 15 strait up and down. practice is the only way.your wobbling cause your going to fast your body position is wrong....oh and if your not covering the brake while doing rear peg wheelies your asking to flip....have fun@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 2nd gear wheelie wobble
i'll give you my brother in law's phone number so you can call and ask him what happens when someone tries to do a highway standup on both back pegs......he looped his **** out with the quickness and almost got ran over my a semi.....if you're gonna do both back pegs then get a HB and know how to use it.....otherwise do staggered so you don't bust your **** up.....jus my

i had wobbles when i was learning... i fixed it with lower air pressure... and if it would start to wobble i would clinch my knees in towards the tank.... thats in a stag wheelie too

Re: 2nd gear wheelie wobble
are you serious? between 45 and 60mph is very reasonable for second gear on the streets with a stock geared bike. if youre doing 15 in 2nd gear on a bike that doesnt have a real big sprocket that bike is gonna get choppy as ****. balance point is never straight up and down, its where youre not chasing speed anymore, and wobbling has nothing to do with going to fast. the slower you go the more the bike wobbles. but the last part you got right, if you dont cover brake you have a real good chance of flipping.

Re: 2nd gear wheelie wobble
yes and no.... a bike can wobble like crazy if someone is goin fast chasing fighting to pull the bike to bp.... i've seen a couple bikes wobble the back tire clean out from under the bike.... not a pretty sight.... but ALOT of it is keepin your body steady and smooth and try to work on clutchin strait to BP from about 30-35 in second and you should balance out by 40-45 dont try to PULL it to bp point just work the throttle that way you're not straining yourself and therefore being more smooth oh and like everyone else already told you... COVER YOUR BRAKE!!!
i'll try slower i normally clutch up about 40 and hit bp at about 60. i may be getting to my bp to slow. i've been working on that. appricaite the advice i'll focus more on body position and clutchin stright to the bp..

Re: 2nd gear wheelie wobble
Start doing staggered wheelies, it will be better in the long run or like the other folks said get a HB. As for the wobble, with the new tire its not gonna be as friendly as the older one because its not flat in shape and its not gonna help you stay straight. Drop a little bit of pressure in the rear and that should make a considerable difference...
