When turning you need to balance the gravitational force of your body weight and the motorcycle's leaned weight against the centrifugal force which is pulling it out. And in most cases the centrifugal force is more than the normal weight for which you compensate by shifting the center of gravity of the motorcycle ... either by leaning more or moving your body into the corner ... in most cases by doing both .. ...
