More preload on the rear leverages weight to the front, more compression is the fine tuning adjustment..

Factory suspension settings are for one weight range in approximately a 10lb range. Of course they never publish that weight range but typically it appears that 165-175lbs is the universal baseline.

Check your front and rear static and ride sags to see if you have the proper spring rates.
Lean forward while accelerating hard.

Surely your light front end out of bends is caused by your heavy use of the throttle on the exit... ?

I don't see Rossi complaining about having too much power on tap when the front comes up a little, and I can't imagine how you'd dial-out front-end lift via the suspension if it's caused by a surge of acceleration?

Are you 100% sure it's not because the bike is so good?
