The reason behind him telling you this is to back-up his rule about weight transfer and positive throttle through a corner; by keeping a positive throttle through the corner you maintain your weight balance as well as improving ground clearance.

This is total tosh ..

If you put the front wheel against a wall the back end will rise because your shortening the wheelbase ..

Opening the throttle loads the back shock and it will sag ..

The rotational forces will try and pivot the bike around the rear spindle and the change in the centre of gravity plus the accelerational forces are transferred via the shock
