Front end feels wrong

I'm hoping my new 999 (second hand) that I just rode home simply has the wrong pressure in the front tyre.
It felt completly wrong in the turns, feeling like the front was going to tuck in at any moment, I had to push the inside bar quite hard to make it feel better. Just rode 130 miles on it so isn't 'new bike new feel' syndrome. ( i test a new one last week and it felt superb straight off)
It all just feels 'wrong' and very off putting, if I had been on my old 900ss I would have tore it apart in the bends.
Tyre wear maybe?, head angle setting?
I'll check through things at the weekend but thought I'd sound off here first.
PS Boy it's fast, I was'cruising' home through thetford forest area and looked down to see I was doing 80+
God I fear for my licence
