I think the bike rotates around the tyre contact patch and the bottom of the tank is about 800mm above that on a M900. A lot more on a Cagiva Elefant for example. The greater the distance betweem the contact patch and the bottom of the tank the more fuel moves across the tank. I do not think that a bike pulls 1 G when cornering so the fuel level will tend to stay level with the ground not level with the bottom of the tank.
I could be talking absolute bollocks!!!!
