[QUOTE="K_Flyer, post: 1397328, member: 89366"] "Stand Up" refers to what happens if you apply front brakes while leaned over in a turn. It tries to reduce the lean angle. This occurs with fork suspension and also with the various BMW suspension systems I've experienced that don't have the front end dive of forks. It has nothing to do with forks or descending a slope. Try this: go into a long curve, well leaned over, and apply front brakes (gently!). The bike will try to reduce the lean angle and thus [B]increase[/B] the turn radius. Do the same thing and apply rear (trail) braking and the bike will maintain the lean angle and, of course, slow down. I've noticed in moving from the BMW world to the FJR world, there seem to be a number of terms that are not common to both worlds. Sorry if I use terms not common in this community. Oops. Missed a word the first time around. [/QUOTE]
