To use an old forum trope, don’t lean. Or rather, don’t lean the bike as much.
Starting at the top
Look where you want to go
Slightly bend the inside arm, this will bring your upper body weight to the inside allowing the bike to stay more upright.
Put your weight on your inside butt cheek, if you’re doing track stuff feel free to bring your arse over so the inside butt cheek is hanging off the saddle but for road just put the weight on the inner cheek and stay centred on the saddle.
Have your inside ball of your foot on the pegs and move the outer foot forward so the arch is on the peg
Keep your knees and toes inThis is different to low speed stuff you learn for mod 1 where you pivot turn by shifting your body weight to the outside butt cheek and lean the bike over more, you only do those turns in 1st gear.
Finally, you could be accelerating too early, at the beginning you should be almost lined up for the straight before giving it the beans. Then over time you can try earlier and earlier pulls out of the bends.

Not strictly true, counter-leaning can be done at higher speeds like the police do. Pretty sure FortNine did a video on it too.
Also, pivot turn, did lol thinking about being on mod-1 with front wheel in the air at 12o’clock

This with a little weight on inside foot was really super helpful. Makes so much sense and really helped me move the bike into the corner.

as a beginning rider, i find the tendency of the motorcycle to want to straighten out when accelerating out of low to moderate speed turns (city riding) hard to control. I feel i just have to back off the throttle and let the bike fall back into the turn. I'm not riding fast or anything.
advice? i mean i guess the answer is just more lean angle, but it feels aggressive to me.
