Chatter Issue in MotoGP: What is it?

Chatter issue is vibration related issue to the bike. It can be coming from the front or rear tyre running through the suspension and makes the ‘chatter’ (vibration) to the bike. It can be minor issue or major issue even up to a point that the bike is not controllable under certain condition especially during the cornering and after exiting it.

I have been reading a lot about it and wonder why it really matters. The video from Yamaha shows some example of how severe the chatter issue is to Ben Spies. Check the video at 0.23 after the jump
