No hes not this isn't true at all! Gripping somthing hard is because your gripping hard not because of where your hands are. To no grip hard you....don't grip hard.
@@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

Thanks alot man, I saw this video few days back and just today I experienced my first wobble, I was going 120, thanks to the info u provided I was able to control it and am writing this comment
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.
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.
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
As someone who barely even has time on a bicycle let alone a motorcycle, I’ve always wondered what you could do to prevent death wobbles and you explained it beautifully. Thank you
Literally today this happened to me while i was doing 80mph on my cg honda and when i remembered your video and it saved my life, thank god and thank you .
I’m new to riding and don’t have much experience, this is beyond useful In terms of advice I completely understand what you mean. And funny enough I actually death grip and I didn’t even know it bro!
I learned this on my own and I'm glad it's correct. It just makes sense. A bike always wants to go straight, human input and over correction is the real error.
Thanks ima take a msf course soon and try and get myself a cfmoto 450ss and get to riding and these tips are surely going to help out in the long run ✊🏽🖤
I’ve been riding street 11 years dirt another 10 I dident know this . What I have learned over time is don’t mess around on a bumpy road all my wobbles hit me on a bad street bike I’m going to use this tip as extra precaution it makes sense
The arm yank with the throttle is just something street racers do in the moment we all know not to but the excitement gets to us and we turn into that black guy with the Honda “YOU AINT SHIFTING LIKE ME BLUD “
Thank you for the tip. It makes sense. Had speed wobbles street riding going 60-70 one time and rode it out but was not wearing any protective gear. Would have hurt pretty badly.
Can confirm. Had a snapped off throttle clip on and road for like week like that (I was/am a POS lol) road fairly dumb, no damper, and never had issues with the wooblays. Crazy way to learn this exact lesson from leg grip technique to the fingered throttle.
Had the same thing happen with a shopping cart at the grocery store. Man those front wheels were slapping like crazy. Never did I think an ill placed bag of cat food would have such an effect on the handling.
I agree with loosening up on the grips, but I do not agree that a wider grip achieves that. It's counterintuitive to the principles of leverage. The wider your hands, the more leverage you are capable of inputting in torsion on the handlebars. U kno, like a breaker bar
Now I can’t say what would’ve happened if I hadn’t learned the whole loose grip thing, but I was doing a pull on my new old Daytona 675 the second day I bought it. And the reflective stubs that split the lanes gave me a mini death wobble, I’m glad I didn’t have to learn the hard way not to have a death grip
Light on the bars and smooth in execution of all inputs (throttle/shifting/etc). Also I know alot of guys have their dampeners turned all the way down to steer easier at low speeds and forget to turn it up when its time to fly and then oh shot! 😅
One wild thing for me to grasp when I started riding was how much the bike wants to ride straight. Let the bars go and they settle. First time I hit some wobbles I let pressure off the bars and the bike settled. Wild mental gymnastics
This breakdown really puts into perspective the finesse it takes to accelerate yourself to 100+ mph in less than 3 seconds successfully and consistently.
When I first rode my motorcycle, my survival instinct kicked in, urging me to securely hug the tank with my legs and grip the handlebars from end to end.
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.

@@HansToyHut forward and down so it pushes you into the tank while ass wayyyyy back to keep tail down
I've always been taught to grip the bars like your holding an ice cream cone and not an axe.
I was always told like a child's arm, but this is another really good one!!!
Never heard this one but its a great one for sure
Same but for me they said like an egg 😂
On street bikes you hold it with cone grip and on almost any other bike you hold it with normal grip
I was told "if you can't do chicken dance and piano fingers, you're holding too tight".

Im telling y’all biggest reason for speed wabble are inexperienced riders death gripping handle bars
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
I’ve heard a lot of “riding advice” on CZcams this by far is the most informative shit I’ve heard yet.
Track days are Important.... They teach all of that there💯🏆🏍
I didn't think trombonist and motorcyclist could relate so much.

The way the handlebars where wobbly was fucking crazy 😮😮😮
Dude I been riding for like 2-3 years and I never realized the way you gripped the handle bars matters. Game changer
That's super smart man, I like to think of myself as a good rider but there's always so much to learn

As a naked bike rider, it's part of the bikes personality when riding hard to give a little wobble. 💯 agree keep the grip gentle.

There's always a lot of idiots on the road.
Just be careful your not one to take other's life. 🤗
Finally death is in my grasp
Thankyou for educating Sir
Leg shifters do this a lot. Instead of foot shifting they throw their whole leg and sometimes that initiates the wobble.
Yea been riding for a while. This is news to me. Keep up the great vids.
Do a track day with instruction. They’ll teach you about the screwdriver grip

Yup he’s talking out of his ass
This is like a romance novel but it’s about motorcycles. I’ll never look at my motorcycle the same after this
Keeping the suspension, tires, head bearing and everything in proper working order is key to avoiding tank slap.
Coming from a harley to a sport bike, thank you
I never knew this, thanks for the lesson 👍🏼
Plus suspension setup is crucial. Youll still get a death wobble if its not setup correctly i.e rebound setup
Thank you!

Also moving your hand out help with leverage on the brake lever giving you better braking power
