yeah i'd agree with that. when you pull the clutch in and let the motor slow down so much when you try to reengage the motor and drive then you get way too much engine brake and it can lock the rear tire or start slides and stuff

another core issue i see is your marks. you are braking too late (mostly due to just slowing down and not actually braking) which means you are gassing to late also.

look, slow, turn, gas.

find your line, slow to the correct speed, do your turning, then immediately return to the gas smoothly and consistently.

gas is what makes the bike stable. with proper throttle control and good tires one could easily double the speed you were taking the road through most of the turns. obviously that's a bad idea since if you screw up on that road you're going to be hurting. you should think about taking a track day if you want to build skills
