A tank slapper is when the front of your bike gets loose and the bars shudder from side to side(hence the name, in a bad one the bars can slap against the tank, but it depends a lot on the bike)
I wouldn't fuss too much about them on the busa though, I've had It happen a couple of times now, usually due to riding too hard and lifting the front slightly, crossing up when it comes down but as Busgo said It always seems to give a slight wobble and then correct itself. This isnt true for all bike and conditions though.... <i></i>
