No, I was saying don’t go full lock while rolling with the clutch out. If you need to turn MORE to keep the bike from falling over, that extra turning isn’t available. I have seen a kid drop some other guy’s bike in that exact situation. I myself have almost dropped a heavy ass VFR 800 in the same situation as well.
Ok. I think I see what you are saying -> if you depend on that, and find you need to turn more to avoid going into the other lane you can't, as an example. Was that just aimed at beginners (not that I'm an expert)?

I usually only do that when I do a U-turn. I try to slip the clutch, but my friction zone is very small and I am not used to using the slipper clutch on mine. Practice makes perfect though.
