Oh and covering the rear brake won't do **** if you don't let off the gas. If you got it stuck open wide you can forget the rear brake

today i almost ate it doing a highway wheelie twice i let the front tire down and got real bad headshake. How to stop this. what to buy. is it gonna completly stop it.

streetbike05

Today i almost ate the asphault twice. I was practicing some long wheelies when i let the front tire down the front end started shaking. Will a steering stabilizer stop this completly from happening. if so what kind to get.

rrmike

Yes a good steering damper should fix it. I crashed doing the same thing and have a scotts ordered right now. I know gpr makes a good damper also.

SlitZ

you really dont even need a dampner... just bring it down smooth and keep the front tire straight

what do you mean by highway wheelie? what speed?

i can clutch up 4th and put it down above 100mph with no head shake at all without a dampner... you should be fine

I was in 3rd doing about 95 on the highway when i sat it down

rrmike

Some are twitchier than others and he says he's just starting so he's probably not putting them down real nice

I know 954's are bad for headshake and I've gotten it just hitting a seam going onto a bridge under fairly hard acceleration. I won't stunt without one anymore

I just go back in from trying some more. My bike wants to drift to the right most of the time. I think it is my body positioning. I have concentrated on keeping the wheel strait when leting it down and has not down it again. It did it when the back tire started to wobble and when i was slowly curving right

streetbike05

seems like the smoother i am on the throttle and the less chopy i am the further i can ride it without wobbleing or curving to the right.

The crown on the road that makes water run off will usually make you veer to the right. The lane isn't perfectly flat. You can check the alignment of your rear axle cause mine was off a little and made it bad where I couldn't steer it but once I got that corrected it was ok.

Mostly you just have to learn to lean when you're in the wheelie and steer the bich. Don't really know what else to say.

Oh and to help with the wobbles let your rear pressure down some. I run 25 and it's better but I still like to corner so I don't go much lower.

i thought the new 1000rr s come with a stabilizer, my friend just bought a brand spankin new 05, last friday, it has one from the factory!!

I think most bikes come with factory dampners now...just that they dont so shiat...Scotts radial would be nice but GPR is also good, I dont like the piston style ones that much at all, radial all the way.

Yea the 1000rr's come with the HESD. Its good for track but it isn't any good for stunting since it is made to stiffen up with speed.
