Hey Everyone. I am new to the forum. You guys have a lot of great advice and tips concerning cornering.
I ride a 05 VFR and am having issues with lean angle. I get to an angle in which the bike feels light and like the tires are washing out or I'm moving towards the deck a little quickly. I'm positive that I am NO where near the max lean angle. Do any of you have any tips or experience with this issue? Thanks soo much.

The tires a broken in (about 2,000 relatively easy miles). They are not visibly squared off. Theres is about 3/4" of virgin rubber on the outsides of the tire. So I think that the tires are alright.
What I mean by the "bike feeling light" is that I will go from feeling the forced into the seat to kind of falling towards the ground. I guess a feeling on an soon to be lowside. I think that it is this feeling that is worrying me. However I know that I am not near the max lean angle.
Is it possible that my issue is I am trying to give too much lean angle for a given turn radius and speed? And the feeling that I am getting is actually the sensation before a lowside?
