RE: I need how to instructions on taking curves.
The best way to learn is to take a class. If you want to learn how to race and drag a knee, take a superbike class. I'm taking my second superbike class this November. It's about $700 bucks for the class, but you learn on their race bikes with their tires and their leathers.
Highly recommend that.

SLOW -- Slow to a suitable entry speed. Scrub off a decent amount of speed so you can either increase or maintain throttle throughout the curve
LOOK-- Look at your exit point.
PRESS-- Press on the handgrips. Called countersteering. Press right go right. Press left go left.
ROLL-- Roll on the throttle through the curve. This helps stabilizes your suspension. Never ever roll off the throttle or apply brakes in a turn. Bad Karma.
AND GOOD LUCK!

RE: I need how to instructions on taking curves.
look truth is, some people get there knees down, some don't. everyone rides in there own comfort zone. I went riding with a friend the other day that just got his license back after a 3 month suspension & $1200 fine. There he was riding like a man that had been told he had hours to live, destroying yet another pair of tyers (and the knees of his jeans, and generally having a great time. we all laughed when he told us how he was enjoying the ride & was just taking it easy, (cos in his mind he was). like all supprised that he had lost skin off his knee, nimrod was not even aware that he had/could get his knee down. If he consciously tried to do it, he'd probably fall off.
