Motorman’s Tips, Tricks and Techniques Why is my bike so Top-Heavy? I must get this question via email five or six times a day, every day. I’ve written about it before but obviously, many of you haven’t gotten the message. Here’s the question. “I just got a brand new ( fill in the blank ) it’s SO top heavy! What can I do?” First, let’s get this straight. It ain’t the bike, there’s no such thing as top heavy. It’s simple physics. The bike has two wheels, one in the front and one in the back. If you don’t put the kickstand down, obviously the bike falls over. If you’re going extremely slow and you don’t keep power to the rear wheel with your clutch and throttle, the bike will fall over. It’s called gravity. Why does the bike feel stable at higher speeds? Why is it that you don’t have a problem balancing a bike above 15 or 20 mph? Again, it’s simple physics. The two spinning wheels create a gyroscopic effect, that is, the force pulling you forward overcomes the force of gravity pulling you down. The faster you go, the more the motorcycle wants to continue going straight. Because of the gyroscopic effect of the two spinning wheels at speeds greater than 15mph, in order for the motorcycle to turn, you must make it lean. If you push forward on the left grip, the bike will lean left and go left. If you push forward on the right grip, the bike will lean right and go right. Click HERE to Read the Complete Article.
