Definately make sure your bike is right, very little that you can do at the 'bars will make an unhappy bike handle right, but always remember: Nothing, but nothing, handles right when off the throttle. The best, safest and certainly the most enjoyable way to corner is on the throttle, you don't need a lot - don't get greedy - but a positive throttle lets your bike start working right and inspires confidence
