I always leave enough lean left in reserve for decreasing radius turns.

IMO, you shouldn't be going very fast coming into any given turn if you don't know what the whole turn is like or can't see it. Meaning, if a decreasing radius turn is coming up you should know it so you know not to be blasting through the first part of the turn only to meet the 2nd part of the turn and be in trouble. And if you don't know it's there, be going slow enough that you can just lean more when you hit the tighter part.

There's a few of these on the road I ride. I know it well enough that I can carry decent speed through the first part and know when I need to brake a little to bleed off speed for the tighter part. But I took it very slow until I remembered.
