Agree that if you are at max lean then letting off the throttle isn't going to help much, in fact if you are already running wide then letting off the gas will push you even wider.
Leaning the bike MORE can result in a low side because you are already at your max lean so pushing it farther can put you on the ground.
You mention getting lower in your hook position and really, that is your best option as it will tighten up your line WITHOUT adding any extra lean angle. So what is the hook position and how do you get into it in order to tighten your line?
