What should you do if your motorcycle starts to wobble while riding?

When a motorcycle begins to wobble, the most effective and safest response is to grip the handlebars firmly and slow down gradually. This allows the rider to stabilize the motorcycle without introducing further instability that could be caused by sudden acceleration or harsh braking. Slowing down gradually reduces speed, minimizing the forces that contribute to the wobble and helping to regain control.

Accelerating in the face of a wobble can exacerbate the situation, as it may increase the instability and make it harder to manage the motorcycle. Steering into the wobble is often counterproductive; instead of correcting the issue, it could deepen the wobble. Braking hard can also destabilize the bike further, potentially leading to a loss of control. Therefore, the best approach when encountering a wobble is a steady grip on the handlebars accompanied by a gradual reduction in speed to ensure safety.
