That was pretty much the accepted wisdom back in the day when they were common on road bikes. Pin the throttle and stay away from the front brake, keep the front end light.
EDIT. Since the true slapper only occurs when frame flex coincides with shake frequency (or harmonics thereof), probably any major redistribution of wheel load or weight may change the frame flex frequency enough to break the amplification cycle. So all those things may work.

I was more referring to your comments about applying the rear and pinning the throttle to sort out a TS. Linked brakes will fire a pot on the front when you apply the rear; do you think that your technique would still work despite this automatic application of a little front brake?
i find on the two bikes i've ridden the most, slappers are very related to the tyre pressures (of course surface causes them though but the thign that lets them is the pressure). almost been spat off like lou's first post on the zxr250, same speeds same thing. had bike going between my thighs leg to leg like the iom clip everyone has seen and almost toppling off it... many many slappers on that thing and the 10r lately (pressures too high!!!)

Fazer is awesome at this, i just about dropped her comming out of the classic races. Back tyre was full of gravel in the grip and i opened the throttle only to have the back kick out and drop the bike to a 20 degree angle before i killed the throttle and threw the bars back up again.
Didnt have time to get the stabiliser out, was so thankful that i didnt have clipons then.
