I am talking about M696. I can't ride without hands. as soon I take off my hands from the wheel bike comes unstable, it not just a feeling, bike moves from it's way.
I tried different speeds.
What is wrong with me or with it Huh?

First thing that comes to mind is steering bearings/adjustment.

When you correct the turn; does it go right back to the same place or does it stay on the corrected path?  (if so then bearing tension/wear)
Does it wobble back and forth constantly? (look at tire wear carefully) 
If tire wear is even; does the tire have a single straight tread in the center?  (this tread can wobble a bit due to road surface, especially in rain grooved pavement)

Past these answers you have to ask someone smarter.   Grin

OH it's just me, bike is ok. I didn't have experience riding without hands. I gave my bike to friend of mine and he show me some stunts applause applause, after that I've learned a bit of this technique Dolph.

Day I got my bike I handed it over to a friend to show me what it looks like doing a wheelie. Not something I want to try since I don't want to pay for the mistake.
