KS 16x Tips?

Hi All.. I recently moved to a KS16x from an Inmotion V8.. I am not an early beginner.. but i am by no means an expert at riding.. I nervously get around NYC not so terribly on a wheel.. So i am still in the noob category for sure! 

So far most of what i learned translated pretty good over to the KS16x.. The one thing i am noticing that is getting me.. Is stopping..

Not only do i get wobbles when moderately braking, but i tend to not always have the best control over the wheel when i dismount. So far this hasn't been too bad.. But it is enough for me to ask and see if anyone has any tips specifically regarding the KS16x for those situations! I did search around a bit.. but was not finding too much.. 

Any other tips are most certainly welcome!!

What has helped me with the dismount is exactly what some else on the forum said. Come to a determined or rather quick stop rather than slowly creeping down to a stop. That way you can dismount quickly before you start losing balance and feel a fall coming, and the whole movement just starts to unravel, if you get my drift!

I haven't had braking wobbles so I don't know anything there ... don't even know why I don't have them! Maybe it's a combination of my weight and tire pressure. I'm about 230 to 240 pounds and use about 41 psi in the Chao Yang tire. Anyway, no experience to offer there.
