Cornering situation

Kawi had them in the 1989 ZX7, the ZX7 had a slipper or back torque limiting clutch unit all the way up to it's demise in 2003.

Odd, as my '89 would back into corners like it was its job. Not that I'm doubting you.

I am not 100% sure, but I think the first year for slipper (back torque limiting) clutch in the ZX7 was '91.

The '89 and '90 ZX7 used the old Ninja 750 engine with a different cylinder head, and there was no slipper clutch on those.

So I use the clutch to corner sharper?

No, the thread has gone completely in a different direction. The OP got the correct advice (take a course ...) then the thread went sideways.

Sideways due to the slipper clutch issue.......see what I did there? I'm clever

They weren't adjusted for the purpose from the factory, and basically little marketing was done for the feature.

Zx750 and ZX7R had the back torque limiting clutches but they were tightened up so much that it made very little difference.

The 03 ZX6RR kicked off the trend.
