On the old Gixxer 750 H tank slappers can almost be a regular occurance for me, if I let it.
By riding with the ball of my foot on the pegs (just bellow the toe's reather than the heel) and my knee's squeezing into the tank I am able to push down on the pegs by simply opening up the angle of my foot.
When tank slap happens I squeeze the tank hard with my knee's and push down on the pegs at the same time. The harder I do this, or the more force I do this with the quicker the tank slape corrects itself. And as previously mention, I'm not locking down with grip on my handle bars
