I know how to configure the various controller axis how I want. What I
need to do is make the steering control less sensitive, I can't steer
the bike smoothly. I imagine it has something to do with the "control
graph" thing, but the manual doesn't explain exactly how it works. A
few pointers would be appreciated.

The graph "thingy" (technical term ;);)
shows how the input is related to the output.
(Or it's the input/output mapping, or transfer function)
If you want the steering to be less sensitive
near the center, move the knobs downward
in that area. (Wiggle the controls and watch the
blue bar along the botom - that is your input.
The blue bar along the right side is the output.
If you move the control smoothly, you should
see the output bar move much slower in the
area with lower scaling than with higher scaling.)
The only tricky part with steering is that in
order to accomodate those who want
to steer with buttons, or some controllers
that have separate analog left and analog right
signals, we had to split the steering into separate
left and right commands.
You can assign left steering and right steering
to the same analog axis, but make sure the graph
for left steer shows zero (minimum) scaling for the
whole right side of the graph in that case. The
knobs should trend upward as you go from center
to the left. (And for right steer command,
zero the left half to make it the mirror image of the
left steer command.)
There are some presets for various normal
scalings. In order to reduce the sensitivity near center
for a single steering axis, you can use the two rightmost
buttons. These will set up the knobs so that the system
transmits less sensativity near center. Hit the buttons,
see what it does to the knobs, then you can adjust
them further.
