Wheelie Wobbling
I was out practicing today and I noticed the longer I ride the wheelies the more the wheelie starts to wobble to the left, to the right and if I keep on the throttle it usually straighteens its self out or somtimes I set it down.... Keep in mind it doesn't always happen, only sometimes.
I'm wheelieing a Ninja 250 in sit down position, and no I'm not trying staggered, etc I want to get sitdowns on lock first.
If you can give me advice on how to prevent this or what's causing it... i'd really appreciate it!
Thanks

also one of the biggest reasons to wheelie wobbles is being choppy on the throttle. U have to be real smoothe on the gas to hold it steady. And yes, try to balance it out steady too.

Re: Wheelie Wobbling
25 felt good for me when I would have the bike screaming in 1st, after I slowed it down I was rockin 10 psi, but try out 25 and see what you think of it, if it doesnt help then lower it some more....
