Think about how herky jerky it can be when you go from coasting with clutch to fully engaged clutch. It's much smoother with the throttle vs the clutch.
The ONLY time to use the clutch is if you're upshifting or downshifting...ok, some folks modulate it for slow-speed maneuvers such as U-turns. It's not what the bike needs entering a corner and it's putting tons of excessive wear on your clutch plates. You brake and immediately roll on steadily throughout the corner. No clutch unless you downshift prior or upshift leaving the corner.
