Wobbles in mid turn are likely a rear end problem... Your shock might be sprung too loose & allowing too much rebound & compression... time to get that sorted out.

And as has been said, a loose grip on the bar is required so that you are not transferring the negative forces back to the chassis. Its a bitch to do though when your instincts are telling you to do otherwise. This is why you often see in wrecks the bike keep on going fine after it has tossed the rider... it wants to keep going straight...

 

Headshake while exiting a turn is the result of carrying to much weight on the rear wheel (too much throttle, front wheel unloaded). The front wheel looses and regains traction repeatedly untill the weight is balanced (aproximately 40% front 60% rear) and the front suspension can accurately track the pavement again. Keeping the throttle rolled on and staying loose on the bars is the only solution in this situation. If you were to hold on to the bars tight you would transfer the front end wobble to the entire bike causing a possible slide/highside. Also a steering damper will calm down a head shake but not eliminate it.

 

i just learned something

 

when in doubt, gas it

and ya, mr clean i realize that the bike is wheelieing or trying to.. but once i got my suspension figured out for someone my weight, specs it helped out alot.

 

I agree that suspension set can help, especially if you don't fall into the 165-185# weight range that sport bikes are set up for from the factory. However trying to dail in suspension before learning the basics is pretty pointless. If the rider does'nt know what he is doing to make the head shake playing with the set up will probably only confuse him. Also VWTurbo is riding a 2004 CBR600, one of my best friends has this exact bike, and it has the most stable stock suspension I have ever felt. It takes a pretty big mistake to upset the chassis on this bike. I've said this before here but anyone who is going to try to push their limits on a motorcycle should start by reading "A Twist of the Wrist II" by Keith Code. It is a pretty good idea to educate yourself as best you can, afterall the trial and error method can cost you your bike or even your life.

 

nah i ride a 05 zx6r
the 600rr is just making fun of my sig lol

im at 150lbs, the bike is pretty much how it came out the dealer, stock suspension

 

im at 165 and dialing in my suspension specific to my weight helped a lot. dogbone helped me dial in my settings and so far my r1 feels great. I have a lot of confidence riding corners now.

 

ya i lost my confidence, last night we get a nice turn, and my friend goes and accelerates, i just stayed behind

 

jump off and turn in to a cannon ball...
