Never had a tank slapper problem on the front of the 'busa.
(Have had a problem with the slapper on the back!)
Lol slapper on the back!
Do you have an aftermarket damper on yours ward?
My bike has the standard damper. Did have a problem with another bike once that nearly threw me, as you'd accelerate it just got worse and worse. Turned out to be a wheel balance problem. New front tyre, once balanced, all was good.
I did a superbike cornering school and was told "how many times do you see a slapper get worse and worse until it throws the rider, and then the bike straightens up and continues along after. - obvious problem is the rider, not the bike. Loosen the grip and let the tyres/suspension do what it's designed to do."
There are always exceptions of course.
