Questions after reading twist of the wrist

Bought and read Twist of the Wrist II today...understood everything and learned a ton!(I think the book has probably already payed for itself in mistakes I won't make now)

The one thing I had a question about was in the stearing section. It talks about weighting the outside peg and the using knees to help lean the bike...is that right or am I completly off?

Thanks for the help sportbikes are a million times different than the cruisers I've always ridden!
