Yep. Then you get a tail wheel shimmy. :o) FWIW, caster, tire pressure, and damping all apply whether we're talking about nosewheel or tailwheel shimmy. I get an occassional shimmy in the tailwheel on my KR. Since I can't adjust the tire pressure in my hard tire, and can't adjust the caster unless I want to bend the tailwheel spring, it is always addressed with damping by snugging down the nut on the tailwheel shaft where it goes vertically through the tailwheel frame. I usually need to snug it down every 75 - 100 hours to prevent shimmy.
