[QUOTE="James Dean, post: 24564, member: 18501"] semi old guy, Here is another experiment for you on the rear torque and squat question. Rather than blocking your front wheel and slipping the clutch to look for the rise in the rear, [b]tie or block the bike at the handlebars or triple clamps to simulate a higher C.G. and see if the rear doesn't go down instead of up.[/b] [img]http://dirtrider.net/ubb2/eek.gif[/img] ---------------------------------- Something else to keep in mind when landing throttle on is [b]the rotational inertia of a fast spinning wheel hitting the dirt will push the bike forward and up without ANY chain at all!![/b]. [img]http://dirtrider.net/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] Something like the rocket analogy, this is part of the reason the bike doesn't sink or squat as much. The upward slope on the swingarm will try to lift. It is similar to the physics of a drive shaft (but less pronounced) on the initial impact.
