Front end wobble

I've been tooling around on my KLR for the last 6 months so I'm still going thru an adjustment getting back into the power of things. Last night on the way home after making the right off the main road I gave it a bit of gas and had the front end do a slight wobble. I wasn't going that fast but not sure why the front end wobbled like that. The only thing I could think of is the front came off the ground slightly and wobbled a bit when it came back down. Any insight???


Oh yeah I forgot how easy the front end will come up. I can twist the wrist on the KLR and it just tooled along. But the Super Chicken Holy S*!T

Yep it will do that on you,(the front comming up that is). It is possible that the front end just got light on you, were you leaned or straight? The stock front end unchanged is pretty stable did you drop the forks at all or is it stock?

Re: Front end wobble

forks are still stock, it was about mid turn as I was straightening it up.

It is possible because you weren't ready for it that it just got light on you.

it's happened to me before as well.... i suppose it was because the front came of the ground a little bit while i was turning... which twisted the gyro motion of the front wheel.... causing the wobble.
