I'm nowhere near the limits of traction (I think). I'm all 'fraidy-scared to go there.... or have been. Every time out I'm gaining a little more confidence.

When I have a "moment" it's generally under braking. Doesn't happen under throttle. In fact, the first time at Palmer I had a moment climbing up through Turn 5... the bike felt like it wanted to fall into the turn, which I diagnose as utter failure to get on the power.

To your point... too little is as bad as too much. Typical turn for me (think the right-hand bowl at Palmer) is "Can I roll on? Can I? Can I? I guess so...." rather than "Okay, you're good. Now go!" I hesitate because I'm not sure.

So in that zone between too little and too much, if anything I'm on the too-little end of it.

To answer the question: As you're picking the bike up -- removing lean angle.
