Question:

Answers:

What are some other small street bikes besides Rebels, and where can I find them cheap?

Yes, it's normal, but not very safe. It happens on regular bikes too. The condition is called a tankslapper because violent ones will cause the handlebars to turn back and forth and slap the tank. This usually happens if you're on a bumpy road and going a decent speed. Very subtle tankslappers are expected from time to time. What happens is the front tire loses contact with the pavement and if it doesn't come down in the same direction the bike is going, a tankslapper will start.

i need to know about zuzuck bike?


Manufacturers started fitting bikes with steering stabalizers to correct this problem and you can have one fit on aftermarket as well that you can adjust for various riding styles/situations.
I used to increase the pressure on my stabalizer when I was hitting the twisties for faster leaning and decrease the pressure for relaxed riding and more manuverability in low speeds. You just reach over and turn the dial. Newer bikes have auto adjusting ones.

If you get a tankslapper going, the best thing to do is relax your grip on the handlebars. I know this sounds contrary to what you should do, but I read about this in Cycle World. They said that when you grip too hard, you tend to over correct the situation and you make it worse. The natural physics of the front wheel is to go straight so by lessening your grip, you let physics take over and lessen the chance of human error. I've tried it myself because I'd get a tankslapper every time on one particular road on my way home. The technique works.

But, I'd imagine that it's much worse on a dirt bike on asphalt because of the knobby tires.
Slow down or get a streetbike.

what are them shoes called?

If you have "knobby" tires, then yes. The "knobs" on knobby tires are made to flex for optimum traction in the dirt. That's why the tires are not rated as street legal. And there is not as much rubber on the road compared to street tires. This gives your tires a "hydroplaning" effect. Also low tire pressures will amplify this effect.

CR125 or RM125 what should i get?? the pros and cons of eachother??

I agree with guardrailjim and will add another thought to it. Most off roaders don't balance the wheels on a dirt bike, there's really no need. At W.O.T., especially on pavement with knobbies, the tire being out of balance would have an effect on it too I believe.

how do you call the new scooter that have wheels on your sides and not in front and back.?


Maybe the wheel is out of true just a bit as well. Again, something small wouldn't be as noticeable at 'normal' off road speeds, especially in the dirt. On the road running WFO, maybe?
