1) you always set yourself up BEFORE the turn. As in - downshift and brake to get yourself to the speed you want to take the turn. DON'T hold the clutch in while taking the turn! Set yourself up to correct speed, roll off the throttle as you enter the turn, lean, roll back onto the throttle through the apex and out.

2) I have one of these right turns sharply uphill near me. As you are throttling up hill ...set yourself up for the turn BEFORE the turn (see above). slow the bike down to the speed you want to enter the turn (brake + downshift). As you enter the turn, lean, throttle up at the apex and throttle out.

3) Brake and downshift (again, set yourself up for the turn BEFORE the turn). As you enter the turn at the optimal speed, lean, throttle at the apex and throttle out.

When done correctly, you will feel the difference. Rolling on that throttle at the apex and throttling out of it is a great feeling.

NEVER: use the front brake in a turn or shift while in a turn

If you see a pattern, there is. Brake + downshift BEFORE the turn (always set youself up BEFORE the turn), coast (without pulling in the clutch) through the turn, at the apex roll onto the throttle, as you start to exit throttle on out and off you go.
