You won't break traction with your limited lean angle unless you're doing something stupid such as braking or "pushing the bike down", meaning you have backward riding position. Like Inspiron said, you should shift your butt inside and lean slightly, as if trying to kiss your inside mirror. This is not the same as "hanging off" a racebike, so don't feel like you're being wreckless. It's just good riding technique.
