Coming into two I thought it felt odd and assumed to much spped. So rolled off the throttle and lightly squeezed the front brake. As I was leaning, bike got squirrely since i'm not skilled at braking while leaning. Let up brake and kept off gas. Tried setting up for three and looked into the corner, trying to apply the maintenance throttle as I'd be shown to avoid simply coasting.

My fuzzy recall right at the moment is i could not get it to turn, so looked deeper into the corner and leaned further hoping to have my hands push further. Still no turn and as it leaned further it felt like the tires unglued from the track just as i fell off the saddle.

I am really wondering if my two week old rear tire is the cause of both lowsides i've had since.
