I said to myself "every biker i see on the road leans with the corner, what am i missing here?"

Hm, so apparently the msf teaches you the very basics, you have to go out there and know more experienced riders when you are good enough to go faster...

I am working on my corners now, cause they are too wide, or not wide enough...and you're right, giving it a little bit of gas with a harder lean does help tighten up the turn...but in an apartment complex parking lot with people liable to start backing out of a space as soon as I get there, i can't really gas it too much, and the speed limit in there is 10 mph anyway...so i am trying to make myself just get into all corners at the right speed to begin with. Easier said than done, but i am getting better!

MSF taught you properly, lean opposite the bike when turning at speeds when you cannot countersteer, once you're fast enough to countersteer, then lean with the bike into the turn.
