Get some video of your form, or pictures. What you think you're doing will probably be totally different to what you're actually doing.
No doubt. While at the track and on a ride last weekend, I felt like I was near touch down and that my knee was way out. Seeing photos from the track and video from the ride, this was sometimes true, but more often than not I had a long way to go. My form was not consistent and I was often dragging my shift lever because I was leaning the bike too much.
