Sit up and in the middle of the bike, with weight on the outside peg. Get yourself situated as you approach the turn with your feet on the pegs and upper body in place so you don’t have to adjust midway through. You can move forward to get the front-end down or slide slightly back to weigh the rear wheel for traction.

Aim for a flowing line with a nice arch. This should reduce the small bar turns and corrections you might make while going around.

Be smooth on the brakes and throttle. Too much front brake can cause the front-end to wash out, too much rear brake can send the bike into a skid, and too much gas can result in a loss of traction or a high side.
