I practice late/delayed apex, try to go in slow in unknown turns, try to give my self enough room to maneuver.Stay wide on entering the turn and until it begins to tighten up. look through the turn, and begin to accelerate when you can see the apex, which is quite late in the turn.
I have heard different things about how to further turn/lean the bike; in case you went in too hot into a decreasing radius turn
1) Roll off a bit so the front becomes more responsive to steering, and get back on the gas as soon as you have further turned the bike in. But wouldn't this would further take away from ground clearance in case the turn got tighter and you need to lean more?
OR
2) REAR wheel that turns a tighter radii. Use the rear brake slightly to make a tighter turn.
I couldn't find much on this in several books such as Sport bike riding techniques or Proficient motorcycling.
