That´s quite a bike for corners. Good things to remember, entry speed is critical too slow is better than too fast especially on that bike. It´s got enough torque to get you out of the corners just fine and as your confidence grows your entry speeds will go up anyway. Another thing get your shifting and braking done early that way your in the right gear at the right speed at the right place in the turn and you can concentrate on body position looking thru the turn and throttle control of which the word is smooooth! Anyway thats my 2cents hope it helps! Rubberside down later.
