wheezy Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I was doing a 60 roll (to 65 of course;)) and after a few seconds the handlebar starts shaking back and forth. Lucky I recovered it. What causes this to happen? I think I was over a bridge at the time so maybe I hit a bump and the front tire went into the air some and came down a little sideways???

snredrum Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 yep, when you go into a tank slapper of some sort, it is usually do to the front tire coming down out of line of the rear tire. The bike then tries to straighten itself out and the result is a tankslapper. You should look into a steering damper. GPR makes a good one.

Got-Boost? Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Next time it happens, get back on the gas ASAP.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezy Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Next time it happens, get back on the gas ASAP.... The R6 doesnt have enough power to bring the wheel up. It will only power wheelie when its at like 8k in first and then I hit the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linc5.0 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 that is not true. I can throw an R-6 into the air in third gear. You just have to know the rpms and also how to do a stand up wheelie. Cant be done in a sit down. the purpose of getting back on the gas is to yes raise the front end up, but not necessarily to get it off the ground. Just release some of the "pressure" i guess you could call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 A steering dampener will help with headshake but not completely. Normally this is caused by something not being lined up correctly. If you have changed the suspension geometry and this has started happening I would seriously consider changing back to pre-headshake tollerances.

88lx5oh Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 the purpose of gettin back on the gas it to straighten the bike out.. the fast you are going the more centered the bike will become, and stable. hence why you do a Christ (stand on the seat with arms out to the sides) at above 40mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linc5.0 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 sorry but its the truth. I did jesus christs before I could ride a wheelie(sit down or stand up or on tank...etc) or endo a bike, its just one of those things....not trying to diss anyone.

customhillbilly Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 That bike will do a sit down in second with no problem. I know because I sold it to him. I still have a Scotts damper and mount for that bike if you want it $250. This will fix all your tank slapping issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customhillbilly Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I was refering to FZR 600's post about 1st gear wheelies, not yours about third gear standups........ FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
