why does my street, sport, motorcycle automatically (without my input) lean into a strong wind gust?
Whenever I ride my motorcycle in high wind areas, when gust of a cross wind comes along, my motorcycle automatically leans into the wind. I have tried this with and without my hands on the handlebars to try to eliminate any input from my hands. I have also consciously tried not to lean with my body into the wind. It is most noticeable when I come out from an area where the wind is blocked into an area where there is a strong cross wind. This is street, sport bike (Ninja 750 CC) with a full fairing. I do remember this happening also when riding my father's Honda Gold Wing about 20 years ago as well.
