Pull up to your local drug dealer and ask for kryptonite. Even HE will tell you to lay off the drugs. lol

 

Done it several times as well. I just stayed relax,kept my hands loose from the bars while still holding it and maintain gas/speed up a weee bit. It would balance itself in a heart beat.

 

I have had lots of tank slappers (my local track is pretty bumper). what I find works is leaving it pinned or pinning it and relaxing your grip on the bars. steering dampers are good but don't always stop them (had a massive one on the weekend on a gsxr600 that had a stock damper, I have also broken an olhins damper from one too).

something nobody has said is that if you have a bad slapper to pump your brakes before you need them because it can push your front brake pads out.

 

definitly agree on the gsxr600 dampers blowing *****, but not quite sure about the last thing you said on pumping the brakes before you need them? wtf you talking about?

 

I'm guessing that he's saying the tank slap's motion pushes the pistons out on your brake calipers.

 

only ridden about 300 miles so far and this kinda happened to me this weekend... hit a patch of highway (it was raining) they had put curved grooves in for about 100 yards (idk y)... i just held on really tight (which i see was the wrong thing to do) but i didnt try to counter steer... scared the s... out of me but like mentioned earlier, makes you feel a live when your out of it...

 

the roads here have those around every corner, it's a farkin pita. those grooves are to keep the road from cracking when it expands/contracts from different seasons... from what i hear.

 

yes that is what I'm saying and it can take 2 or 3 pumps of the lever to get any pressure

 

I dont get it, have you people watched the vid at the begining of this thread?
just tell me HOW in the hell you keep calm and relaxed in a situation that severe? I'd crap my pants

 

I wont say a bad slapper isn't scary, but if you know what to do you tell yourself to do it. ie relax and stay on the gas.
everytime I have crashed is because I have freaked out and do something that I shouldn't have.
