Short answer... a track day will do you some good to explore more lean if you want to get to the limit in 1 day...

or just wait, with time the same roads come to you a bit easier. Before you know it you are leaning more over time.


You can trail brake into an apex, but this requires you have good feedback from your front end (confidence) to know when you are grabbing too much. Some times a light application of front break will get your through a corner.

On left handers opt for the rear instead, the bike will turn a tighter radius with the rear brake, but too much in the rear is often a disaster. The key is to develop a feel for the feedback to your foot to know when you are applying too much. This has become hard for me with the track boots...
