[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3728399, member: 24583"] Yep tire and frame harmonics come into play. Old guy here who bought the second 1972 H-2 750 triple Kawasaki sold in Tulsa. Rode it home 3 miles, ripped the cylinders and pistons off to do a grind job for an extra 25HP while adding expantion chambers for more. Immediate cure of what this guy was experiencing is simple, rack the throttle back to lift the front wheel long enough to stabilize, then back off the throttle off to set it back down and apply the front hand brake. Not much of the aerodynamics (like a tail rudder on an airoplane) is going to be out of control if you are only riding on the back tire with the throttle racked back unless your chain breaks. Gezzzzz, I can not understand this younger generation mentality who expects anything pushing the edge by someone else could not create their own problems that they might have to think about solving. Common sense to me, if something is giving you a problem, eliminate it. Simple. JMO [/QUOTE]
