Questions about how to prevent bike wobble

[hypnotika]

During my riding assessment test, I always obtain points for wobble during right turn or wobble during lane change.

 

How to prevent it as these are my weak points?

 

tips pls, tanks a lot...

I also had this problem when i was taking my tp and failed the first time due to wobble.

 

the solution is simple.. ride slow and steady and GRIP TIGHT ON THE GAS TANK.. the tighter the stabler i feel..

 

Other then that is when u check blind spot or check back. try not to shift your shoulder.. just moving neck is sufficient..

[haoKR]

control the clutch as well.

The bike wobbles because you are giving inputs to the handlebar (pushing or pulling). Observe what you do with the handlebar when riding. Keep your arms relaxed. Grip the tank firmly with your knees. When turning or changing directions, give firm and precise inputs.

Discovered it too late but not too late, found it after passing prac 8 but before my TP, in the end no points went into wobbling during TP otherwise fail already. Haha.

nice one that

Throttle more. The faster you go the stable the bike is. Be more confident in your ride.

Passed two months ago....now I wobble all I like

[MR BIKER]

i passed 25 years ago now i also wobble because my steering cone need changing. hahhahahhahaha

[ych22]

Well seriously speaking....during actual TP test as long as you don't have immediate failure in circuit and do them in the time limit....then on the road ride defensively with all the checks....I think TP will give chance regarding wobbling.

Passed 3 months ago now i wobble worse than lesson 1.

hard to say also, wobbling is quite dangerous on the road leh, since motorcyclist tend to lane split, one wrong wobble can game over.

Have enough speed...grip tank.

At low speed lane splits, wobble at most knock into car mirror or scratch car....it's not serious accident.

ya but if kena car very embarassing.. that day kena side mirror of a car.. kena scolded by the driver cuz at red light..

U have to have proper position...relax ur upper body and be more firm on ur lower...grip ur legs firmly on the tank and relax it shoulders...bike condition is very impt..it actually affect...it should always go straight when no input is made on the handlebars else u will always be fighting wif the bike which cause wobble

I'm assuming it's not your bike.

 

As many have mentioned, your posture is crucial. The reason you want to grip your fuel tank is so you do not have to put weight on your handlebars. The handlebars are the only thing that affect your direction, and wobbling indicates you have been somehow providing input to your handlebars. Grip them firmly, and relax. Keeping your eyeline as far as possible helps; the further your point of reference, the more stable you will be. Your body will not feel the need to 'correct' your balance.

 

Finally...practice. There is no substitute to this.

Yes Bro ,

 

what u said is correct, i using this method from 2B to 2A now...

[frslims]

Yes Bro ,

If u ride bit slow, they will mark u with poor acceleration. If u ride fast, they will put remark dont follow speed limit. Ride normal, mark as wobble. I also kana last time and fail for 1st attempt, but lucky still can pass for second attempt

Gotta take note on this when I take my class 2

On high speed, the wobble is known as tank slap.

 

It could be a change in the centre of gravity. Especially with a pillion. Sit as close and low to the tank as possible. Kiap your tank thoroughly lah.

i am still learning my 2b.. and always wobble.. i secretly think the riders or drivers behind me who saw me wobble are laughing at me.. haha i am the worse person to give advise, but just grip tank hard and release clutch more and throttle more to accelerate fast hence no wobbling.

Control your mind first and the rest will follow.

 

wobble? Thats becos you are not confident handling the bike and that affects your overall balance.

 

1. do not choke your handlebars with your hands. If you feel achy after a ride, you are holding too tightly

2. Do not choke the tank with your thighs. If you feel acy after a ride, you are geipping the tank too much.

3. Practice riding a bicycle well. A good cyclist finds it easy on a motorcyle.

 

4. Bike riding is never about strength, it is about finesse. Body and bike becoming one.

 

good luck to those taking their lessons. And remember, safety first. Its your life at the end of the day.
