Mood: is it the weekend yet??
it sounds like someones used the section 8 setup guide which drops forks through yokes and raises rear or has swapped to steeper head angle. Out of the crate the 999 is very stable, usually people complain they can't get it to turn, check how many lines are showing on the forks above the yoke, factory is 1 - 2 , S8 goes to 4 , rear ride height, max length of tie bar is 285mm, make sure its that or less. it could be the owner has had softer springs fitted to fork allowing front to sit lower, you may be heavier and front is now sagged more and thus steeper and sharper, tie wrap round fork, sag should be 30 -35mm static with you on bike. pull adjustors back to factory setings and get geometry back to normal then test. as has been said it could be tyre pressure or a worn tyre.
