I find the engine braking strong aswell; as im a new rider, i've been caught out with the rear wheel making life a bit squiggly in this horrible weather.

A few things that help me are not changing down gear too soon before a corner, but changing down before i tip in. Also, giving the throttle a "blip" before re-engaging the clutch on downshifts helps, as the engine speed is (roughly) matched to the wheel speed.

Not much else to recommend!

Happy riding

Matt
