      ​@@BikeadelicNaturally when your grip is hard, it usually comes with your weight shifted toward the front. With a relaxed grip and relaxed arms, it shows youre putting little weight to the front, and most has gone toward the back and over the tank

  • @Ryder-Edmin
    @Ryder-Edmin Před rokem +143

    I agree for the most part, and good advice.
    Speed wabble's can be caused by a number of factors. The most common is tyre pressure, next is the shocks could be tuned improperly. And it's not as common for experienced riders and racers. But knowing how to handle the bike in these situations is the KEY element.
    Leaning forward like basically laying on your tank. And reducing your grip or even letting go of the handle bars are the best ways to avoid this, also it may not be you or your bikes fault all the time.
    If driving on cracked roads or decaying/poor condition roads. You may experience this a time or to, and going fast isn't ideal on poor roads.
    And before I forget, do not touch that front brake under any circumstances while in a death wabble. And if your a professional like me, I'll share this to provide some insight. I was doing a top speed run on a highway at night on my 2019 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon. I was doing 220+ when I came up on a car with no tail lights in my lane, the left lane. I had no choice so I didn't slow down, instead I barely had enough time to swerve onto the shoulder. Upon hitting the shoulder I applied heavy on my brakes while turning back onto the fast lane. Well I'm estimating I was doing around 150-180 and then my bike started wabbling bad. I managed the wheelie and I leaned back enough and gradually managed to get the bike down the around 30-40 MPH until I lost the wheelie, my front tire was flat but it didn't blow. I'm guessing I hit something on the shoulder, or those bumps they have on them. And that's what caused it. My tyre pressure. My point is, if your good enough you can wheelie your bike from a high speed down to a lower speed. But that was the scariest thing I ever experienced. Honestly I've never given my bike full throttle since then. And I get kinda nervous while going above 180. I used to race MOTO GP, and I raced in
    The Isle Of Man, and that's the reason I quit racing.
    Respect the machine and be alert of stupid drivers, never assume another driver can see you!!! Ever.

    • @pizzlerot2730
      @pizzlerot2730 Před rokem +17

      I mean, great story, glad you're okay, but I can give you a piece of advice that trumps all of yours and would have prevented the entire situation: don't do 220+ on public roads 🤷🏼‍♂️... Obviously the other person was also in the wrong for having their lights off, but that doesn't absolve you of responsibility for dangerously exceeding the speed limit (especially with low visibility).
      Remember - you share the roads with other people, and they didn't sign up to have their car impaled by your motorcycle. Take it to a track if you want to do stupid shit.

    I ride a dyna i can assure you if you ride one too theres a good chance youre gonna experience the dyna wobble and the first thing you always gotta do is stay loose. Might seem right to hang on real tight but the first time it happened to me in my head i just said if this is going to happen its gonna be right now and i took a deep breath and loosened my grip and actually eased off the throttle then accelerated and it came out of it. Definitely woke me up a little bit to how much having a loose grip really helps in those situations. Be safe out there riders.

    @someguy9520 Před rokem +8

    Coming from a cycling background(time trial, xc mtb and road cycling) we always set up bars in such a way that if you completely let loose of the bar, you shouldn't face plant and maintain position with a little bit of body tension
    This usually lead to more relaxed and precise steering inputs at higher speeds

    Oh wow. Ive been riding for 4yrs and didn't know this. Learn something new every day. I do know what to do if a speed wobble happens but not how to prevent one. Thanks man.
