Awesome question and at the core of high-performance riding.

Let's start with the core of the technique (skill of it) and then branch out from there. In the TOTW II, you know that a smooth 5th gear roll on is enough to maximize traction (contact patch) and give you working suspension in the acceptable ranges. Aka, the throttle brings it all together.

At the 50k foot view of things, you are actually answering your own question as you clarify the question with a little bit of your further comments.

Let's state some general working throttle techniques on your r6.

1. you come down straight (pinned)
2. roll off throttle (and apply braking)
2a = ?
3. 0 throttle at turn in point (steering)
4. begin throttle roll - (after steering completed)
4a = ?
5. roll on harder as the bike is picked up or pick up early and roll harder (corner exit)

Stuff you already know, but what is 2a 4a and what do they have to do with each other?
