My main advice is to realize the MSF course only teaches about a quarter of what you should know. In fact, I'm pretty sure the word "countersteer" is never used. They tell you to "press on the direction you are turning", which I took to mean press downwards when I took it, and with the lightweight bikes they have, that essentially works.
After you finish the course, pick up Proficient Motorcycling. The MSF course is very rote and designed just to get you to pass the licensing test. Proficient Motorcycling really helped me understand the "WHY" of the things they tell you, and lots of things they never mention, such as the fact engine breaking "counts" as rear braking for traction purposes, etc... It's a never ending education!
