sounds like too much traction, try leaning farther forward and to the inside of the corner, then when you rev it out push with your feet on the pegs to the back and outside of the corner. If you are continuing to go straight it means your front tires arent gettin the traction to turn it, more weight forward riding thru the corners should correct the issue.

yea if your front tires arent sliding then its just a matter of using your body weight to get the bike sliding where you want, lean to inside of turns and move your butt off the seat and gas on it.
