The clutch is oil bathed, so you do not need to worry about using it too much, you will not burn the clutch. When rolling at a slow speed you should maintain a slight amount of throttle and use your clutch to adjust the speed. With practice you should be able to roll at slow speed very smoothly by using your clutch. As far as going into a turn in 2nd it sounds like you should have downshifted into 1st, then you should have been able to accelerate smoothly through the turn. You should not upshift or downshift while in the turn. With practice you will learn the gear to use when entering a turn.
