Tankslapper video

[Barnoe]

Not my video by the way, i have just seen this on Facebook and i am curious.
Whats causes them and whats the best way to deal with them.... power on or power off etc.

im guessing this is something caused by fast acceleration, cos in the videos ive seen, its on big bikes accelerating.

What caused that :O
On the video he mentions cold tyres.... surely this cant be a tyre thing can it?

I think you'll find it's a combination of things.

Poor obs.
Slack chain.
Twisted subframe.
Overtaking near a junction.

It looks like a highside to me? Hang on, I just noticed his neutral light comes on as he straightens up, has that got something to do with it?

So what I'm thinking is he tried to shift up, got a false neutral, kicked it down into gear, locked the rear, rear caught grip again when wheels weren't aligned and caused the bars to wobble as it tried to correct itself.

Then again this is a wild uneducated guess and I have no idea how these things happen

Edit: Nevermind, that was his indicator. Was looking at slowmo

FUUU WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS VIDEO.

It's half a Highside by the looks of it, caused by putting to much power on exiting the corner and the rear losing traction, sliding perpendicular to the direction of travel and then regaining grip causing the bike to twist.

[UrbanRacer]

looks like it happened just as the road surface changes from new to old. poor riding position as well, sitting bolt upright almost instead of leaning to the inside of the bike.

Had two "moments" myself rear wheel sliding kept throttle neutral and saved it causing a mini tankslapper looks like he just wasnt lucky enough to stay shiny side up

Highside, not a tankslapper.

OP
Yes. The tyres will be only partially responsible. The rest is due to cold weather and idiot twisting the throttle.

It's a learning process though. You crash you learn

Nothing like a tankslapper,inexperience,too much throttle not enough grip.

[Wull]

Go to 1 min


That fucker in the op's vid is either sitting all twisted or sitting bolt upright,causing more lean angle than he really needs for the given speed.........recipe for disaster with lack of tyre grip,too much throttle and generally a pish rider......crashed again just sums it up.

I would put that down to a foot peg digging in and the rider panicking about it.

meant to comment earlier, but he looked to be leaning too far for such a low speed... tried to give it a bit of a handful too early the back kicked out and he tried to correct at the bars and f**ked it up.

That is what we call in the trade, a "computid".

The cause of that slapper was pretty obvious.
