Twist of the wrist for a full explanation!!

In order for a bike to get around a corner (once above around 15mph) it needs to be leant over. Countersteering isnt turning the bike as much as it is a techinque for leaning the bike over under control. To lean the bike over you have to destabilize it by pointing the wheel in the opposite direction ever so slightly. this makes the bike "fall" onto its side, but physics stops it hitting the deck if you're moving. You do this anyway for every corner, but to learn to do this purposefuly will help you improve your control of the bike and build your confidence, which will in turn help you relax and be more in control and so on. My DAS instructor found that I struggled with corners so he showed me a part of his handbook that outlined countersteering, although it was written for him to only teach the technique to students who were struggling with corners and it helped a little. I also read Keith Codes book in the summer which goes into the technique in depth,  and I focussed on using countersteering during my weekend excursions. It made a huge difference.

I think you will find it will depend upon your speed, and also the geometery of your bike.

As the speed increases you may find it easier to put a little presure on the inside bar as you turn, this need will increases with speed, Start with your feet, if you also put presure on the inside footpeg and press your outside knee against the side of the bike. the bottom half of your body should now be about right.Now with the top of your body lean a little forward to put some extra weight onto the bars, bend the inside elbow out a little and move your shoulders a little to the way you want to turn ( your head will now be more over to the mirror than the centre of the bike) You should find you almost need to "push out" on the inside bar, you will find you need to feed the gas as this keeps the bike up and on the right line, and you almost steer the bike through feeding the gas.(and looking where you want to go) Should you have a dry road you may want to move your arse half way across the seat as this put more weight onto the inside of the bike which could help if your going briskly

This may help, but please dont try too hard until you have practiced , or ride like a twat, its december ,keep it smooth and flowing , all of the above could be bollocks and I havent got any money, so please dont ride beyond your ability, bin your pride and joy, and attempt to invite me to court.

The above is very unlikely to turn you into a GP racer overnight but entering a corner at a speed where you are in control , feeding the gas smothly, steer positively, look where your going may help you a little.

I try to teach it to all my students but as money is a factor not everybody gives their instructors enough time to teach them everything. But if in doubt a bit of time spent with an instructor,IAM ,Rospa Etc. post test should sort you out. Ps you are already doing it or you wouldn't be going round corners now. When you think about it actively that's when it helps to turn quicker or tighter also stops that horrible feeling when you think you have went to quick into a bend as opposed to actually being to quick for the bend.

This explains it

really  stole that,thanks roadcraft
