2. Steering damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_damper

   The steering damper or steering stabiliser is a damping device designed to inhibit an undesirable, uncontrolled movement or oscillation of a vehicle steering mechanism, a phenomenon known in motorcycling as the death wobble. The stabilizer absorbs unwanted energy in the side to side motion allowing the forks and shocks to work properly.

4. Motorcycle suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_suspension

   Hub-center steering is characterized by a swingarm that extends from the bottom of the engine/frame to the centre of the front wheel instead of a fork. The advantages of using a hub-center steering system instead of a more conventional motorcycle fork are that hub-center steering separates the steering, braking, and suspension functions.

5. Motorcycle components - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_components

   A motorcycle fork is the portion of a motorcycle that holds the front wheel and allows one to steer. For handling, the front fork is the most critical part of a motorcycle. The combination of rake and trail determines how stable the motorcycle is. The 'fork' on a motorcycle consists of multiple components.

6. Speed wobble - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_wobble

   Another explanation is that speed wobble is a Hopf bifurcation, a mathematical phenomenon in which a stable fixed point of a dynamical system loses stability as a parameter changes, giving rise to a limit cycle (a path that a system follows repeatedly, looping back on itself in a predictable pattern, which other nearby behaviors tend to mimic ...
