I don't do alot of wheelies, and when I do it's only sit-down power wheelies in 1st...
When I ride a power wheelie out in 1st, then I get off the throttle/clutch and shift into second... As the front end comes down and I get back on the gas into 2nd, I notice a bit of headshake. This isn't really too cool if ya know what I mean.
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or do I just need to invest in a steering damper?
I also notice earlier when I got off the throttle for a sec in 2nd gear and then chopped back into the throttle that I got some headshake. The bike didn't wheelie cuz I guess I didn't have the balls to chop it at really hi rpms. I'm trying to get comfortable with the thought of wheelies.
Should I concentrate my weight more towards the rear of the bike and try to consciously keep my weight on the foot pegs rather than the handlebars? I mean, will this solve the headshake? I only assume my natural reaction to the wheelie is to lean into it cuz I'm a bit scared. lol.
