Go straight on Laughing

Seriously though. Just take it easy until you get used to the bike. Slow down before you enter the corner and power out of the corner.

When you get used to the idea of taking corners on a more powerful bike you can look into getting the leaning and knee down action. Check youtube for counter steering.

Tighter corners you might want to drop a gear or 2.

Just treat it like you would if you had new tyres on it, take it easy until you gain confidence. Also take it easy for the first few mile until the tyre warms up properly Thumbs Up

The RS handles extremely well, very light and nimble so be careful you point it and it goes, you can become a bit over confident on it if you aren't careful
