Default Turns on My 1000rr Are Not Good

I just got a 2004 Cbr 1000 rr a while ago and i noticed that the steering is way diffrent than other bikes and it feels like it wants to fall into turns. What would be wrong with it, ive rode new cbr 600s and gsx 750 and 1000s and noticeds that none of those bikes have this problem could some one give me some advice on wat might be wrong or is that just the way this model is? Thanks

Your suspension probably needs adjustment
Air pressure
Squared tires

Just some ideas...

Preload, compression dampening. Check them all out, they are proabably out of wack.

Check your tire pressure also.

Yes check your tire pressure first. May need new tires depending on mileage.

Has the bike been previously wrecked?

Check to make sure that it's got the proper size rear tire if it might have been replaced. A taller rear tire will quicken the steeringor lowering the front fork tubes slightly will have the same effect.

thanks all of you for your advice, today i checked the pressure and it was a little low and i also went online and found the tuning settings for the front suspension and redid everything and i also lowered the ride height in the rear to give it more rake and it seams to be good now so thanks for all the good advice
