How does a “tank slapper” occur? Why wouldn’t a motorcycle simply fall over instead of having the wheel wobble from side to side?
In: Engineering
It’s important to remember that a tank slapper will send your pistons way back into the calipers.
After the tank slapper has resolved itself and if you are still on board, it’s essential to gently and repeatedly pull the brake lever until the pistons contact the disc again.
Failure to do this before actually needing the brakes could cause you to crash.
