I had a bad tank slapper on the CBR600RR on track, it was getting worse and worse until I managed to force myself to let go of one of the handlebars, then it settled itself down quite quickly. See whilst a bike is moving, it wants to stay upright and going in a straight line, we are the only thing that can change that!

SV's don't need dampers, only had 2 in 4 years and I was d!ck to cause them

Had a few on the SV, but only since the GSXR rear shock has started to go spongy!
