Default Body Position And Weighting The Pegs

I've been reading Keith Code's book, 'A twist of the wrist II' and he mentions weighing the outside pegs in order to turn faster. I am not a racer but as all of us here am after improving my riding technique or if anything trying to understand what makes for a more controlled ride.
I'm not really sure of what he means by weighing the peg. Does this mean pushing it down, you certainly cannot put your weight on it when your body is on the inside of the turn. In practice, on my supermoto I've tried to push down on the outside peg and is effective although concentrating on doing so is distracting me from keeping a relaxed grip and posture. OK, I'm sure by time things will improve but doing the same on the SV is harder still having higher and further back pegs.
Can anyone shed more light on the subject?
