Apex, slowest point, knee down. Before I can add any throttle, I need an exit so I can reduce lean. If I can add throttle and accelerate without reducing lean, then I over braked the turn to begin with (and someone has smoked past me). I never find myself in a position to where I could add significant power until I am pretty much tracking in a straight line or TC / WC will instantly bark back and remind me about grip. On my RSV4 I am usually close to 80+ before I can ever really get the throttle all the way down and if WC is set low enough the front will be off the ground, every time at the top of second gear. An early press of the GP shifter will kill some of the torque and the bike will settle back down onto two wheels. At some point the wings do work although I wonder at what speed as I inadvertently bumped TC completely off at Roebling Road and the Ape did do a power wheelie around 160. I never feel the punch off the corners that some describe, it's more of a ballet with a well-mannered beast masked up with really good electronics.
You need to be all the way back on the seat anyway, it's the best position for rotating around the tank. I have a long torso, so being further back actually allowed me to get lower in the cockpit and also drop my head lower as I stand the bike up and pick up throttle; it's the last bit of weight you can transfer down to reduce risk. I used to try and catch a heel on the outside peg (because YouTube) then one of the Yamaha Champ School instructors said not to waste time with the extra movement. He proceeded to show me a nice pair of boots with a crater in each. They are locked in on those pegs and up against the rear bump, its all you have.
The only time there should be heavy grip pressure is during braking, but try and offset some of that with the inside of the outside leg against the back of the tank. Hope this helps. Wish someone would have posted this for me last year.
