Wobble/Weave
A weave is a relatively slow oscillation of the
rear of the motorcycle, while a wobble is a
rapid, possibly strong shaking of the
handlebar. These are related but distinct
stability problems usually caused by excessive
weight in the wrong place, or by a
mechanical problem such as worn or loose
bearings or under-inflated or unevenly worn
tires.
Your solution to both situations is the same.
Keep a firm hold on the handlebars without
locking arms or fighting the steering.
Smoothly ease off the throttle to slow
gradually. Do not apply the brakes, and do
not accelerate to try to stop the wobble or
weave. In some cases, it helps to shift your
body weight forward by leaning over the
tank.

Handlebars and Footrests
Warning
The rider must maintain control of the
vehicle by keeping hands on the
handlebars at all times.
The handling and stability of a motorcycle
will be adversely affected if the rider
removes his hands from the handlebars,
resulting in loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Warning
The rider and passenger must always use
the footrests provided, during operation of
the vehicle.
By using the footrests, both rider and
passenger will reduce the risk of
inadvertent contact with any motorcycle
components and will also reduce the risk of
injury from entrapment of clothing.
