Eternal is right, you need to be smooth on the controls, and get the weight off of the handle bars.
If you are worried about going too fast in a turn, start braking earlier. Make sure that you are on the throttle going through the turn, you don’t have to accelerate, but you can’t leave the throttle closed.
I have made turns on my SV where I had a late entry do to late, heavy braking then coasted through most of the turn because I couldn’t get on the throttle, and it felt like the bike was sliding, even though it wasn’t. A very unnerving feeling, but when I relaxed and remembered the training, everything started working better, and feeling smoother.
Good luck, ride safe
