We study the characteristics of global oscillation modes of masing disks in megamasers and the effect of the modes on the disk kinematics. We find that the eccentric mode is responsible for the observed sub-Keplerian velocity distribution of the maser source of NGC 1068, whereas in the masing disk of NGC 4258 the warping mode is dominant so that the angular rotation velocity remains near Keplerian.
