- Widening your lines (checked)
So let's see what else we have.
- Turning the beast faster (applying harder and more decided counter-steering force would result in a lesser need of leaning angle)?
- Adding more weight to the inside of the turn (more body hanging off the bike)?
This one last point was the only pet peeve I've had with the beast since the very beginning (I also come from an RR), because I couldn't position myself back enough to avoid twisting my body, because the lack of room when hanging off. I'm not very tall (almost 6") but i like to be seated really backwars to feel secure enough to handle turns from side to side and still in (a quite reasonable) control of the bike. And my best way to solve that was to install the "pp passenger seat cover race". Now I have the room I didn't have with the passenger seat, or with the other regular passenger cover.
I can provide you as well with a vid explaining in detail how to hanging off the bike, just in case you think you may need to review and/or compare what you're doing with what Andy Ibott does. If you think you're doing it allright, then it would be useless. In fact, you actually may be doing everything right, and it may well occur that the only answer to your question is; the beast is not an RR.

Also the SD has a shit ton of engine braking, stop letting off so soon and brake later.
I had the same problem coming from a 1000rr to the Duke.

LSL Drag Bars. That isn't a bad idea at all.
Thanks

What forks are those scuba?

I had a few really good laps Saturday morning. Was getting off the bike more, and got the back me over more. Raising the rear sag helped. But just working better at getting off the bike was the biggest improvement.
Well until second session about 5 laps in. Ran out of grip in the middle of T-11. Max lean, just about to crack the gas on. (I haven't reviewed my GoPro yet, so I may have began fueling) and suddenly I was WAY off the bike. Low sided. Slid for ever.
But, now I get upgrade parts. New bars and rearsets. And a replacement Trex slider puck that did its job well.

Do you know why you crashed? Were there any warning signs? I thought those things had traction control?!
In the beginning of my SD ownership I hauled it down to JGP with a new to me 1000RR. Rode the SD on street tyres in the cool morning sessions, felt great. But as the sessions wore on I found it hard to turn in and I began blowing apexes. Jumped on the CBR and had a blast the rest of the weekend. When I got home I learned about the fork bleeder screws and what a surprise when I loosened them and heard a hiss. The forks were building up pressure and not compressing during turn in.
Winter trackdays are the best!
