The system is dynamic, not static.  If you can get a university professor to teach you how to add the force vectors involved in motorcycle handling, you will know more than most engineers.  All I know is I changed the fork yokes and the bike became much faster, and I was not killed. I suspected the change might work and it did - I was lucky.  Explaining the effect is something else, but it makes me uneasy when there is no explanation for something which is so critical.

I do not usually feel apprehensive when I race, but a steering problem can come from nowhere and grab you by the throat. Even when you are halfway down a straight. An unstable gyroscope can be a monster.
