yeah, get out there and practice. Don't just ride around either, pretend that your racing and work on your problem area's, or in your case, your cornering ability. The more you practice, the better you'll get

You should set out some cones, & practce weaving in & out of them....at faster & faster speeds, untill you feel comfortable.
Later you should mod the engine when you feel at "one" with your bike, but for now master what you have.
