Default shaking/stuttering right after wheelie

i dont know what the expletive happened. lol

i only have a 600 so there little wheelies, but right when i was done. or at the end, my bike started shaking, or like a brake was pulsing and i think my tire was squeeling a bit. but it wasnt smooth.
i dont think i touched anything or accidently hit something...maybe my foot put pressure on the rear brake....

any other ideas?

Before or after you set it down?

Did you set your front wheel down a little off straight?

Headshake's a bitch.

it was really short and quick. so im guessing it was right before i set down or right when i set down, i dont THINK it was headshake....because i thought i heard squeeling, and it was more a jerking (front to back) than side to side.... this was first gear obviously, and at the time probably high in the rpm's

I'm guessing you jerked the throttle and the squeel was your front tire that had stopped spinning coming back up to speed.

Did you come down with the throttle closed completely, hit the clutch in?

Did you hit redline?

I know it happens on downshifts, but if you were wheelying at redline and then chopped the throttle closed, your back tire could lock up on the road due to engine braking, and the increased load to the front tire.

This could cause a squealing, pulsing action as the engine holds up the back tire on each compression stroke.

I don't know just another guess.

I know my 600 just doesn't wheelie either. haha bro just clutch up and go. You are just inexperienced. When you feel yourself tipping back, have your rear brake covered and gently push on it to find the balance point. The shake was probably just your throttle.

i dont want to clutch it because i think you have a lot less control. i dont know what a save place to bring the rpms up to and then dump it. with my luck ill bring them up too high and backflip. lol

id search there, those guys get asked every 5 mins how to wheelie a bike...

its cake on a 600 once you get used to it, you can ride them forever and you don't need sprockets or chains or anything

unless your riding a 86 or something...anything made in last 12 years will wheelie like theres no tomororw.
