one of the more difficult things to learn is low speed turning when you first start out, you are not alone.

the bike is heavey at slow speed, traffic buzzing around you, intersections are where all the oil is etc etc


the person who said about looking where ya want to go is on the money.

its not easy to force your sight off the front wheel or from 6 inches infront of it, or to the side away from where your heading when ya first start out, but thats what you have to do.


Relax, slow down, look where ya wanna go and you will go there

infact

you will go there (corner) so fluidly, that you prolly wont even realise what inputs you used to get there, or how far leaned over you were.


practice practice practice

Look where you want the bike to go is correct.I had the same problem and questioned an experienced rider friend and he told me not to look down into the turn,which what I was doing. He says it's almost like a target fixation thing.
