Hi, Can anyone tell me what technique or settings you use to power slide either into a corner or even better, out of a corner?
any help is welcome

hmm, well, first you have to be pro mode to really get a decent spin up from the tire, and even then, i havent found a way to get a decent "sideways" slide. the easiest way to get the thing to go sideways is to be leaned over prety far, and "whack" the throttle wide open. this really doesnt help as far as lap times go, but you can get some nice pictures.

Welcome to the boards spready. :)

As callaghan says, pro mode is a must and after then it's pretty simple. Get the bike leant over and quickly open the throttle from say 5,000 rpm (or just before most of the power comes in on whatever bike you're on) and the back will start sliding. A bit of trial and error and you'll soon be able to do it without highsiding and whenever you like. It doesn't really seem to help laptimes but you can sometimes use it to square off corners a bit if you were running a wide.
