Handling Characteristic

To stabalize a motorcycle, you need to achieve the proper weight distribution, which is around 60% on the rear, and 40% on the front. Obviously, the only way to achieve this is by accelerating. Therefore through the transitive property, acclerating will stabalize the bike. Proof of this would be like riding a dirt bike, or going over a set of crappy tarmac at the track. If you go over it while you're off the gas, it's going to shake you up, you'll lose time, and end up changing your line to go around it. Where if you accelerate over it, you and your bike could care less about it. This goes for any bike.

Understeer usually comes from the front being unable to properly handle the load that is being applied to it. For example, when you go into a turn too hot, you get off the gas, and run wider. Where if you get on the gas, you'll tighten your line right up. Works every time. Now all of that can be fixed and applied by adjusting the suspension to your weight. Preload and spring rates are the biggest factors here because we're dealing with slow speed suspension travels. Not high speed damping that you fix with shims.

Now when you're racing, it a little different. There's the right line, the wrong line, and the race line. While you're racing, you don't always want the safest mostest bestest bike happiest version around. You want the fastest. Done. And sometimes you achieve that by staying on the brakes through most of the turn as opposed to accelerating through the entire corner like the bike would want you to do. That's why the lines are so different for a 125 and an M1. Just fastest ways around the track. Its kind of like..... in Gran Turismo...Apricot Hill. The chicane. Who in the heck acually makes both turns for that fricken thing when you're going for the win? Nobody. You just fly over it taking sand and rocks with you. Your car doesn't like it, and you do to a degree chance majorly screwing up. But its faster. But racing aside, I say just learn to accelrate through the turns man. Jeremy McWilliams once said "Just stay on the gas. As long as you're on the gas even a little bit, you won't crash." Get all your braking done before the turn, turn in, and as soon as your at your happy lean angle, accelerate slowly through the turn, or at least keep a constant throttle. Those are way better than staying off the gas and engine braking through the turn. You'll run wide, unsettling your suspension, and all around risking crashing.
