I don't think accelerate out of the slapper is what I was getting at. What I mean is if you go over a crest for example, keep the front wheel light by staying on the throttle to keep the front wheel light rather than shutting it off and dropping the wheel down.

Same with exiting a corner, and staying hard on the gas, keeping the front light makes it way less prone to slapping.

More prevention than a cure.
