What should you do if your motorcycle starts to wobble?

When a motorcycle starts to wobble, the safest course of action is to gradually reduce speed and avoid making sudden adjustments in steering. The reason this approach is effective is that wobbling often indicates instability, and any abrupt actions could exacerbate the situation. By easing off the throttle gently, you can allow the motorcycle's natural balance to return. This method also helps maintain stability without shifting your body weight too suddenly, which could lead to loss of control.

In contrast, accelerating to regain control can lead to increased instability, as higher speeds can amplify any existing wobble. Making sharp turns can also worsen the wobbling effect and could lead to a loss of control. Stopping immediately on the side of the road might be inappropriate unless you are in a safe area to do so. It’s important to focus on gradually decreasing speed and maintaining a stable posture until the wobble subsides.
