Now, try the same drill in 3rd gear but just before turn in shift up to 4th (if you can get it to 5th even better) and gradually roll on the throttle. You'll notice the bike bogging or not as smooth like taking it in 3rd gear. Try the 2nd drill again and roll on the throttle faster till you can feel the bike pulling and stable like it was 3rd gear.
The drill should help you learn how to roll on the throttle through the turn. And you won't lowside so long as you're not deviating from the goal. In other words, don't go with the mindset of trying to drag knee.
