Going into a corner with the throttle shut or the clutch in, or clutch engaged mid corner is not IMHO what you want to be doing.
A small whiff of throttle will help to keep the bike balanced, opening or shutting the throttle mid corner, or pulling in the clutch is going to make the bike pitch around on its suspension which means that instead of absorbing the bumps on the road whilst corning the suspension has to also cope with weight transfer from front to rear which unsettles the bike which mean you'll mess your line up through the corner possibly running to wide etc etc.

Thanks, I'll see if I can get my right hand to brake and blib.
