How should you react to a wobble in the front wheel and handlebars while riding?

When experiencing a wobble in the front wheel and handlebars while riding, the best reaction is to close the throttle gradually and allow the motorcycle to slow down. This method is the safest response because accelerating or attempting to grip the handlebars firmly can worsen the situation or lead to loss of control. By easing off the throttle, you decrease speed in a controlled manner, which might help stabilize the bike and eliminate the wobble as the dynamics of the motorcycle change.

Coasting while gradually reducing speed allows you to maintain more control over the motorcycle and enables you to assess the situation better. It’s important to note that some might think pulling in the clutch could help, but this can disengage the engine from the wheels and result in a loss of stability, especially in a wobbly scenario. In summary, slowing down smoothly gives the rider a better chance to regain control and improve safety.
