Any one here ever experience a tank slapper?
What causes the phenomenon known as a tank slapper? I mean, what's the physics and engineering behind a "tank slapper"?
All my life, I've heard people talk about it, I've read articles where it's blamed for accidents, injuries, and all kinds of ecological, global warming, icecap melting type things, but until recently, I'd never experienced, nor seen it happen
3 times, on three different days, on three different rides, in relatively hard, longish type corners, and with a certain amount of warning, I've experience this on the Tenere, and I'm at a loss to know what would cause it, and what the hell is going on that those kind of forces exerting themselves on the front end. The only thing that has stopped it is bringing the bike back to an upright position and dragging the speed back to a virtual stop. The part I really don't understand, all three times, I've continued on with my ride, and done craploads of corners at the same or higher speeds and duration, and not another slapper was given that day?
Anybody, somebody?
Explain "tank slapper" to me and tell me what to do?
