Open 'er up!

Many times that type of thing get worse when decelerating or braking. In Land Speed Racing, there have been plenty of cases where that happens just after the traps as the bike is slowing.

I saw a Harley on the Interstate one day that was oscillating the entire time. It was worse when he rolled off the gas, and went away when he was accelerating. It was in between while cruising. Didn't phase him.
