| just a couple of points, is the front tyre a 120/70 or a 120/60 ?
The other is to do with the weight bias of the 748/916 design where it is slightly biased to the rear even with a good set up, so if your rear preload is to low or the front to high, or the rear ride hight to low you will end up with even less weight on the front making the front tyre contact feel vague. Try putting more weight onto the front wheel by changing one or more of the previous. Yes it will steepen the rake and decrease the trail but at the same time it tries to squash the front tyre futher into the road surface giving it more grip. (works very well on a 98 Blade at the TT). Also check the rear eccentric position, the futher back the better as this provides leaverage that helps to push the front end down for a more stable feeling.
