I'm guessing that if you stop doing wheelies you won't have this problem.

And your bike didnt come with a stabalizer, what do you have like a 10 year old bike your beating up on?

I'm gonna have to report you to the BARF ladies....
The barf guys/gals are gear Nazis because they simply want you to save some skin and for the most part not die (nothing wrong with being a gear Nazi).

Bikes only 4 years old and it didn't come with one. Its kind of hard to stop doing wheelies.

When you get speed wobble you have to gas out of it but not too hard...

Head shakes are usually caused by the front wheel not straight when bringin the wheelie down...and blip the throttle so u land soft, what ive heard.

When it starts shaking most people hit the brakes and it makes it worse you have to throttle out of it it works somehow ive done it two or three times...

for speed wobbles you have to grip the tank with your legs and relax your arms the bike will bring itself out. for wheelies you shouldn't be slamming down you need to practice your throttle control. roll the throttle slightly to come down soft. when i first started wheelies i would slam down because i got afraid of how fast the bike would come up.. its a stage everyone goes through. once you find your balance point youll be fine and have a lot more control
