If you feel like you're in too hot, lean lean lean. I tell myself that every time my brain tries to tell me I'm going too fast and won't make it. If your pegs aren't dragging and your knee isn't down, you've still got room, especially on a sumo.
Do you trail brake at all? Been working on that this summer myself and it helps a lot, also keeps the suspension nice and happy through the corner if you're smooth (doesn't dive the front before you dip in).
Anyhow, glad you're alright.
