What makes a smooth rider?..In a word ..'alcohol' .
.
For the last time...it's not 'SUPPOSED' to have a seat.
There are two types of men in this world:-
1) Those who are Geordies and..
2) Those that want to be.

Look ahead (not at what is just in front of you).
Leave the clutch alone.
Steer the bike with your feet (really!.... stop forcing the bike to go where you turn the bars)
just my 2 cents.....

.Lol there was a 2 day trial down here last year. For some reason all the guys that usually beat me who had a few drinks the night before the second day had a real hard time keeping their feet on the pegs and I rode better than most of them. Very unusual
. I didn't have a drop of the naughty water

The bike's power delivery can be a big thing. If you have smooth power delivery throughout the rev range helps a huge amount as your not on off the throttle.
Why some of the old bikes with experienced riders are able to ride slippy sections easy and the bike that's an animal is on off and the riders working hard.

Slow action throttle will also help.

Worn chain and sprockets also cause the tyre to break traction as it becomes snatchy and shock loads the tyres footprint.
