Slappers!Something the 12 was accused of!!
There are many things that can cause it.The best way to eliminate them(with out damper even on bikes like the 12 and zx10..) is to do the opposite from what started it.
Did you brake too much and one side gripped and head shakes?Let go of the brakes and even give a little throtle if neccecery before braking again.
Did you hit a bump and front chatters?Keep the gas on.
Did you land a wheelie hard?Power it up as soon as you can.
Did you accelerate hard and front wobbles?Roll the gas off a little.
There is no slapper than cannot be controled but the problem is space...Can you do anything of these to stop the slapper or the barriers coming closer??
Thing is that what a damper can control you can also easily.If the shake is hard dampers cannot....Just watch every race where it happens alot.
Dampers are there to let racers accelerate hard while still leaning with out the worry of the front wobbling.
The busa has a long wheelbase so even if the bars lock from side to side rapidly the stability of the rest of the bike isn't going to be affected like on a 1000cc bike.So relax and calm your self that slapper!!
P.S. These tips work on any bike,especially on the 12!!
