wobble during lean

[mjhawar209]

i dont know why sometimes while im leaning in a turn the front seems to wobble like its gonna come out from under me. And this isnt hardcore leaning, Id say prlly a little over half way over max lean. Is this normal??

Are you a new rider?

are you smooth or even on the throttle while leaning? You need to be on the throttle to stabilze the bike.

Yeah, stay constant on the throttle. What kind of tires are on your bike?

Also depending on how hot it gets in your area you may need to check you tire pressure because it does change. It's always a good thing to check and make sure that at the right amount.

in not that new....got about 4000 miles under my belt...yea i was thinking it might be tire pressure also gotta check that as soon as i get home from work

dang my front was down to 25!!! that was prbly it becuase i filled it up to about 33/34 and the bike feels waaaay more stable. my backs at 33 also didnt touch that, i think all them wheelies took the air out of my front.

That is some of the best advise. I used to have the same problem because I went into corners decelerating off the throttle. Keeping the throttle on or cracked evens the weight distribution of the bike and makes turns much much smoother. Twist of the Wrist II descirbes this in great detail. The advise in the book is to get on the throttle ASAP. I started following this rule and am now much smoother.
