Do you mean what's the real cause or what's the real effect? Both could be "problems."

Cause: Charging the corner.

Effect: Inability to get the bike turned, inability to get on the gas early, upsetting the suspension (smooth is fast).... all of which mean slower exit speed. I'm thinking of those shots in the TOTW2 video with Keith holding a radar gun and we see riders coming off the corner with radically different speeds.

Am I close?
