Are you feeling this on the track or street? Have you ever had your suspension set up for your weight, etc?

I had a similar situation to what you did. My bike is stock with pirelli Supercorsas. First I set my sag front and rear, I think my setting were 36mm front and 33mm rear. To compensate for my new 70 series front tire I raised the rear 5mm and dropped the front 1 mm. So i had a total of 6mm. This made a huge differance in the making the bike balanced. The front and rear really give good feedback. As for compression and rebound, it was set up by a suspension guru at pacific raceway. He made a few click adjustments from the kawasaki stock settings. That also made the bike feel better. Hope this helps.

BTW, i weigh 190lbs with gear

Also would like to add that I was also searching for front end feel before setting up my bike. But there is no one adjustment that changes the front end feel directly (at least for me). It accumalates from positive adjustments. Basically, set up the bike to your weight and style and the front end feel will increase from that.

If you're pushing the front, you almost certainly do not have your suspension set up correctly.

When you changed to Pilot Powers did you change the bike geometry? Or did you just change the tires? Pilot powers are tall in front. So if you are riding like a chopper its going to push and have a lack of feel.

Take it to Washington Cycle Works in Washington NJ. They are experts in setting bikes up. 25 to 35 bucks. Ask for Ron. Well worth the trip and you won't be sorry.
