Brushing up on the detail of swingarm pivot position and found an article with this in it in relation to accelerating out of a turn " a certain amount of squat loads the rear suspension and improves traction, too much can unload the front wheel " Bollocks i reckon... the weight transfer from accelerating increases traction, and squat will decrease that transfer. (totally mindful that too much anti-squat geometry will over-rule your nicely set up rear shock). as for unloading the front bollocks again as a lower (lots of squat) bike wont transfer as much weight off the front. (again totally mindful that lots of squat will play havoc with the geometry of the front also).
The concern is the author of the article has misunderstood physics so anything else in the article could be worthless.
Has anyone found a good useable range of the pivot in relation to countershaft and rear axle? I've been measuring lots of sportbikes but keen to hear real world observations
