Davadvice, you can tell me to buggar off when it comes to bikes as I'm new to that, but having done skid pans, rally driving and race days in cars....along with copious amounts of off road driving (more technical than most give credit for) I can say that, while feathering clutch at low speeds, in car parks for manouvers etc is a good way of controlling the car...at road speeds around bends, it is never a good idea. The engine should always be under full drive when in a corner/down a hill......so pick the right speed and gear in advance and let the engine control the flow of the car around the corner, allowing for slowing by coming off the throttle and speeding up by going on the throttle without the need to drop a gear in order to accelerate away.

I would imagine the same is true on bikes, I don't know, but to me....any time you pull the clutch in, the bike is momentarily not under drive and this in any situation is not ideal...hence the legalities around coasting in cars.

Not trying to teach you how to drive or ride....far from it, just sharing my opinion on the possible dangers of using your clutch while in a corner. It can be a very dangerous thing to do in cars...FACT...I would imagine the same for bikes. If you are feeling the bike is too jerky in a corner, maybe you are just in a gear too low for the speed?
