I believe your assessment is correct; too much-throttle increase for lean-angle.

As for hanging-off itself, I find I don't need any weight at all on inside-peg to hang off. These are independent motions. Weighting peg is fine-tuning action to adjust lean-angle when you're already in corner. I can weight inside peg with body leaned-over OR in-line with bike. Most of my weight is still supported by outside-leg on tank. There's been times where I've scraped off my inside foot (hitting bump, getting squeezed from outside by someone and tightening line, etc.), and bike doesn't change trajectory... much.

As for getting on throttle, yes, I think smaller incremental steps is key. Rather than 40%, I think of it as a progression:

- 10% at this spot coming out of corner,
- 25% at this next spot,
- 50% at this next spot,
- 100% here!

Then each lap, I increase the rate of throttle-increase little more and more, 15%, 30%, 55%, 100% 10ft earlier, etc. At some point, I find front/rear-end starting to waggle. I make note of throttle-angle and position on track. That's still not the limit, because it's only single section of entire arc coming out of turn. Next time, I can try increasing throttle little before and little after that spot. After a while, my throttle-opening might progress to 17%, 35%, 55%, 100% 12ft, etc. This is where datalogging really comes in handy.
