I Had a Motorcycle Death Wobble

Whatever you call it — Death Wobble, Speed Wobble, or Tank Slapper — I had a motorcycle death wobble at 45 mph, on a brand new front tire. In this video, I show you the actual footage of my speed wobble, explain what causes a death wobble, and walk through exactly what your hands should do the moment the handlebars start shaking. Your instincts — tightening your grip and grabbing the brakes — are the exact responses that turn a wobble into a crash. I'll also show you how the problem was finally diagnosed, why it never appeared on any maintenance checklist, and how to tell the difference between a true speed wobble and the front-end squirm you feel on grooved pavement or steel-grate bridges. **BECOME A MEMBER** GET INSTANT ACCESS TO THE FORUMS AND FIELD GUIDE http://www.MCrider.com/Member Order my books: The MCrider Field Guide & The Road Strategy Book https://www.MCrider.com/Books Amazon Books https://www.MCrider.com/AM-Books Get MCrider Hats, T-Shirts, & Reflective Decals https://www.MCrider.com/Store SUBSCRIBE to MCrider on YouTube http://www.MCrider.com/subscribe MCrider videos are now dubbed in several languages, including: Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, German, French, Japanese, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, and Polish.
