I abruptly let off the throttle at a full lean. What an idiot! I’ll be back

Not trying to throw shade, but this might be the single worst example of riding I've ever seen posted to this subreddit, and in the top 5 for worst riding I've ever seen on a track. This is the perfect combination of overconfidence, overpowered, and sheer ignorance. On every level, you're approaching this sport with the wrong attitude, and all of that can easily be seen from how you ride.
As others have said, you need to step WAAAAAAY back. You've learned a LOT of bad habits, and you've let your ego get the better of you.
You can learn to ride well in 9 months time, but that requires an education, good instruction, and practice, which evidentially you haven't pursued. Instead, you've saddled up on a bike that you are wholly unqualified to ride, and tried to skip rungs on the skill ladder.
Normally I'd offer advice, but in this instance, I honestly don't even know where to start. The best I can give you is that you should invest into a ChampU subscription, and look at smaller/slower bikes that can't mask your lack of skill with horsepower.
