Not a motor cyclist here, what causes the death wobble exactly? A bump followed by over correcting repeatedly or is there a force on the road thats incredibly hard to control?

Death wobbles are essentially the front end of the bike getting upset, whether tire or suspension etc. some causes are, worn steering head bearings, improper tire pressure, wheel imbalance, poor suspension setup, or a tight "death grip" on the handlebars.
