If your motorcycle begins to wobble, what is the recommended action?

  1. Speed up to try to stabilize

  2. Hit the brakes hard

  3. Close the throttle gradually

  4. Accelerate and steer quickly

The correct answer is: Close the throttle gradually

When your motorcycle begins to wobble, closing the throttle gradually is the recommended action. Accelerating or speeding up will only worsen the wobble as it increases the bike's speed. Hitting the brakes hard can also be dangerous as it can cause the bike to skid and potentially lead to a loss of control. Accelerating and steering quickly may also make the wobble worse and make the bike harder to control. The best course of action is to gradually close the throttle and gently steer in the direction of the wobble to slow down and stabilize the bike.
