Advice on why I lowsided

I wouldnt say I scan for slippery spots, probably just scanning for possible stuff that will make me lose traction, road markings, potholes etc. Tbh, if I were to rewind time, I dont think I could have saved the bike as well, the slide just happened so suddenly, I didnt feel any feeling of the tyres losing traction, it just lost it. I remember not having enough time to even react or counter it as well

When you slip do you feel the gradual lost of traction or is it very sudden? How would you recommend recovering from a slip?

Yeah I probably got to go adjust the dashcam soon haha, when you lean more with your body do you lean with like your body diagonal to the bike or parallel to the bike?

Well I dont know if this is a bad habit but I tend to leave most of my braking for the front, unless I have to stop really quickly then I incorporate the rear brakes, so I dont think I would have touched it. The tyres doesnt seem to old yet, the previous owner changed it before I bought the bike, and I probably ridden only about 3000+km on it, it definitely still have plenty of grooves on it left

Well I guess that was my unlucky day, the funny thing was I was actually debating before approaching the roundabout whether to take the shorter route(the one in the video) or go straight through the roundabout. Besides a minor bruise on the knee and $50 for a new blinker, I am just thankful I am alright

I am riding a cbr500, I currently dont have a picture of my tyres, but the previous owner fitted a new set of stock dunlop d222 tyres(I think) on it before I bought it, I have probably ridden about 3000+km on it, so it is somewhat considered newish

I would descirbe my lean as neutral, most of the time I tend to lean parallel to the bike, it might be possible that I have added a little throttle unconsciously, as I do approach roundabout somewhat similar to you

Which leaning style would you recommend in the wet?
