| Keith Code (of CSS fame) says that the rear increases in height under acceleration due to torque acting on the pivot of the swingarm.
This makes sense, and he challenges those who don't believe him to put the front wheel against a wall and try accelerating to see which way it goes!
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. |
