: Wheel wobble in turns

Hello. I have been riding for many years, but I am trying to push myself and become a better rider... I have never really shifted my weight too much in turns, I just let the bike do the leaning and I lean with it.

Today I was starting to mildly shift my weight in the turns, and try to get a higher lean angle so I can carry more speed through the turns. I am not a heavy person at all... about 150.

When I did this on my K7 1000, it seems to have a bad tendancy of wobbling the rear wheel... it definitely gets your attention...

I finish my breaking before entering the turn, and hold a steady throttle until about half way through where I start to slowly roll back on.

Any help is appreciated on what I might need to do differently, or what might be causing this.

Dosnt that bike have a traction control or step down ignition? any ways it sounds like your rolling on the throttle too late. as soon as your weight is shifted and your at your target entry speed you should be in the turn and slowly rolling on the throttle all the way through smoothly and by the end shift your weight back and open it up openining the throttle at the exit also helps straighten the bike up on that bike id put it in the "C" mode wich i think is the 600 mode and practice with that. I wish i had that bike .

Thank you for your help, I will try that. Yeah, I may have still been decelerating as I entered the turn/shifted my weight... I'll keep working on it.
