OK, so I took my bike out last night for pretty much the frst time since the accident, before the flaming starts I know I'm riding against Dr's orders but I'm feeling alot better and not nearly as sore as I was and I have an orthotic brace to keep everthing straight so I felt I could handle it, anyways, I was on my way home on the interstate in the wee hours off the morning, there were no cars around so I popped up a nice little 3rd gear stand-up, first wheelie since the accident and I have to say it felt great!!! Back to my problem, I rode it for a good half mile and then the bike started to wobble so I set it down, popped up another and the same thing happened again, in total i tried 5 times with the same result each time, I have never had this problem before and I know this road like the back of my hand so I can tell ya that its definitely not the surface, I'm also running 28psi in my back tire so I can tell ya its definitely not tire pressure, anyone have any idea what could be causing this, could I have damaged something in he wreck that I'm not aware off, I also know that by back tire is balanced properly, has no flat spots and is wearing evenly as it is a brand new tire that was put on post accident, any input is greatly appreciated, I'm a little concerned about how safe the bike is to ride, there are no cracks in the frame, I've checked and re-checked it, could a warped sub frame cause this????

speed wobbles come from a number of different things, but the most common is poor posture.i got wobbled bad on an 01 600 sometimes it did it sometimes it didnt....i dont think the wobbles has anything to do with the bikes frame/ sub frame...or even tire for that matter.

if its only happening after about a 1/2 mile consistantly it could be to low tire pressure when your tire heats up its gonna get a little mushy and might contribute to speed wobble especially while bustin a standie try running 31psi. thats what i run always never had a problem good luck.
