Default Re: Back end feels 'light' and wobbly when cornering!

or it could be the totally naff dunlop tyres..... they really are crap

when learning to counter steer try it in a straight line first with very gentle movements. this way you will feel how the bike reacts. sway the bike side to side by counter steering one way then the other as though there were a long steady squiggly line in front of you. push on the right bar very gently then on the left bar very gently then right again then left again so on and so on. it only takes very slight pressure on the bar to do it the more you push on the bar the more the bike will 'react' to your input. it will feel really weird to begin with but you will soon get the hang of it.. 'stearing' a bike is only for very slow speed manoeuvre's.
