Tankslapping

^ Holy shit man, thats scaring me just reading.
I read that if you get one, put your weight on the footpegs and accelerate. Something to do with the weight on suspension as well. I dunno, just read it somewhere. Good help i am, haha.
But Id say its compression lockup, the dude i did work experience for showed me how to do it in his work van, pop into first and drop clutch , and they say work experience is useless.

That iom clip kills me every time.

KR1's were notorious slappers, like TL's. To slap a TL, simply remove steering damper and ensure that tyres are suitably shagged and tyre pressures are incorrect. Wind on the gas hard in second gear then shut the throttle, et voila, she's goes lock to lock and the bars getted ripped from your hands....and that's in a straight line. I instantly turned the seat a rather fetching shade of brown....

that was enought to scare seven shades of shit out of me.....never rode the TL without a damper or on shit tyres after that; couldn't imagine trying to cope with that much force through the bars and frame while leant over and on the gas

btw noice work to you blokes getting straight on the gas and riding them out
