Please elaborate?
Counter steer is to do with the shape of the tyre and the 'rolling cone effect' causing over correction, counter steer is there is because the Camber thrust is too great (causing the bike to oversteer) for the Corner Force Demand. In other words you provide negative slip that matches the difference between the camber thrust and the corner force demand.
As opposed to a cars steering, where you cannot use negative slip, and you have to use slip force and thrust to equal the cornwer force demand.
Gyroscopic effect is an urban myth, nothing to do with how a motorcycle handles, otherwise you'd never get the bike to lean over in a bend.
It's very simple A level physics.
