"mid corner max transversal grip of rear tire, compressed suspension, rapid acceleration, part of the transversal grip transmits longitudinal acceleration force.
at this point,
chain pull varies between max friction and zero friction provoking fluctuations of rear suspension, in corner variations in attitude provoke variations in trajectory and therefore in radius of curvature, changing rake angle producing discontinuous centrifugal force.
The tire subjected to steep load variations alters slip and drift angles."
Condensed from, Motorcycle Design and Technology by Gaetano Cocco, page 70, paragraphs 3 to 6 under highsiding
I'm assuming no one is going to disagree with Mr. Cocco, so what do I win?
cheers
