Wheelie Wobbles

We'll the only thing keeping me from holding my wheelies out longer now is that I get the wobbles really bad. What are some of the reasons for it. I'm guessing it's because the tire is nearly shot.

you're probably getting high up in the RPM's which would make you wobble bad.... the tire could affect it, but I ride with shitty tires and dont have a problem

i have noticed air presure is a big factor, some time to much or too little in most cases. i get em to but i have learned to compensate and bring it out and ride on

i found that if ur jerky with the throttle it becomes wobbly as well as if u shift ur feet around on the pegs too much it starts to wobble as well

If my tire pressure is 28 psi or lower I will get em on the 929 at speeds above 70mph ...If I wanna do high speed wheelies 30-32 psi seems to be more steady....

When I feel it starting I lift it a little higher and most of the time it stops

TRUE THAT!! I stand it up on the highway & i get death shakes. thought my bike was just a jalopy.

I only run like 15 psi though. Stable as hell on slow wheelies but high speed HOLD ON!!

Run it at 20 psi

When it does woblle ride it higher try to stiffen your body to stop the shake, but 20 psi is a good pressure for everything
