I have wondered a lot about this too.
I think the analogy of the shopping cart wheel best describes the phenomenon. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_wobble) I have only read of one two-up wobble, the rest were solo, so I have another question for those who have wobbled. Did you have any modification or loads that would have changed the front-to-back load distribution such as fairings, trunks or heavily packed saddle bags? Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Slamming on the front brakes fairly hard has always worked for me, except for the last time.
