I feel like the "push on the outside grip to hold the bike straight" thing is really dumb. If you're holding the bike upright, that means you're introducing another input somewhere else. And unless you're really aggressive with your stomping on the pegs, shifting your body on the bike isn't going to change the direction of the bike unless you're inducing a countersteering motion, so it sounds like his entire technique revolves around compensating for a bad habit (unwanted introduction of steering inputs).

The only thing you need to scrub off is the smooth, un-textured surface on the tires - it does reduce available grip. The track argument is legit, but most tracks are far more abrasive than the street, and you can apply a lot of throttle and braking while progressively working up lean angle in a way that's difficult to do on the street. If you work up to it, warm the tires up nicely with a lot of upright braking and accelerating, and lean progressively, it's easy to break in them in with about 20 miles of street/city riding, or a run up a nice twisty road with progressively more lean on each corner, so you're never on fresh tire while leaned over all at once.

For mounting the sena, you can remove the piece on the bottom of the helmet that the wires are going over and stash them under it. Will prevent them from snagging and protect them a bit better. The suomy chin skirt will also drastically cut down wind noise for anyone you're talking to.

Long tire irons aren't gonna help you with that. If you need more force than you can put in with a 12 inch tire iron, you're missing one of the following - either not enough lube, the tire isn't in the drop center, or you're trying to lever too much tire over the rim at once. I have a big set of woodworking clamps to act as a second hand/help compress the tire into the drop center. The downside is they eat up some of the slack in the tire you need to use to lever the tire over the rim, so don't over-compress the tire with them or you end up back in the same boat.

Ahh, understandable. My technique with TPS setups is to start spooning the tire over the rim at the sensor - it should be pretty easy to get the tire in the drop center, around the TPS, and once you start working your way around, the tire is pretty locked in place and it's not really possible for it to move up or down and damage the sensor.
