Anyone ever use this? I had never heard of it until recently. Foam squares to go into your tank to keep the fuel from sloshing around, theoretically providing stability when cornering.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

I dk man, that's kind of weird. I don't see a benefit on that but could be wrong
I have seen it used in motocross (note the brand name is evoMX) but I question the usefulness on a sportbike
I'm not a racer, so I don't know the answer to this, but do you need a full tank of fuel for a non=endurance race in the MRA? If you don't, it might be nice to care less fuel (less weight) and not have it slosh around.
Essentially what a car racing fuel cell is full of.

I was wondering about this too. I haven't been able to find much evidence supporting it either way. As the fuel moves, it alters the center of mass of the bike. So, theoretically, it should help with stability, but since the mass of the fuel is relatively small in comparison to the mass of the bike + rider, it may not be noticeable.
I don't see how the foam would be able to prevent the fuel from sloshing around completely. I'm assuming it just delays the movement of the fuel by providing a large number of collision points but not sure.
It's a requirement for WSS, FIM, WSBK and Moto GP...
