What is the recommended action if your motorcycle begins to wobble?

  1. Apply the brakes immediately

  2. Accelerate out of the wobble

  3. Shift your weight to one side

  4. Steer aggressively to regain control

The correct answer is: Accelerate out of the wobble

When your motorcycle begins to wobble, the recommended action is to accelerate out of the wobble. This approach works because increasing speed can help stabilize the motorcycle, allowing the wheels to regain traction and alignment, reducing the wiggle or instability. By maintaining or gently increasing throttle, you can shift the motorcycle's weight forward, improving traction on the front tire, which can counteract the wobbling effect. Applying the brakes immediately can worsen the situation by shifting weight to the front tire, potentially increasing instability. Similarly, steering aggressively may lead to overcorrection and further loss of control. Shifting your weight to one side may not effectively address the stability issue, as this technique is more suited for cornering rather than resolving a wobble.
