Default Weighting the pegs -physics query.

Recently I saw/heard a professional rider (can't remember who) speaking about cornering a motorcycle. I think he said that pushing the outside peg, in a corner, would help cure a push/understeer/running wide situation.

I can't quite work out in my head how that would work, and I can't remember for certain that's what he said, so that doesn't help.

I'm guessing it's some kind of relationship between the left:right weight distribution and steering input, but I don't really know and none of the literature I have mentions anything further about peg weighting than the basics. If someone has a link to an article covering this particular issue, or remembers who said it, I would be very grateful.
