If a motorcycle begins to wobble, what should you do?

When a motorcycle begins to wobble, the best course of action is to gradually reduce throttle and steer straight until it stabilizes. This approach focuses on maintaining control while allowing the motorcycle to regain stability. Wobbling often indicates that the motorcycle is experiencing instability due to factors such as speed, tire pressure, or road conditions. By gently easing off the throttle, you decrease the motorcycle's speed without abruptly disrupting balance, which can lead to more instability. Steering straight helps to maintain directional control, allowing the rider to stabilize the motorcycle effectively.

Accelerating during a wobble can exacerbate the situation, as increased speed may lead to more pronounced instability. Braking hard might also cause balance issues and could result in loss of control, especially if executed suddenly. Shifting your weight to one side may not effectively address the underlying cause of the wobble and could potentially worsen the instability rather than help stabilize the motorcycle. Therefore, easing off the throttle and steering straight is the recommended practice in such circumstances.
