Default Front end feedback

So the front of my f4i doesn't really give feedback on what its doing on fast corners. anyone else came across this feelling....... or lack of and how did you make it better.
I've tried the suspension in different settings on the same stretch of road at the same speeds but no really noticable difference. Is it tires, suspension or combination of both.
I scrape the pegs but its a bit un-nerving when the feedback from the front is so little.
Any help/advice will be cool.

I had a similiar problem when I got my second f4i. I couldnt feel the front end at all. I found that the springs were too weak for my wieght 180lbs no gear.

I also took the forks apart, cleaned everything, replaced fluid, and put Ohlins .90 springs in. It made a huge difference. still not fantastic, but I can feel the front end now

I just posted on another topic where I added 20 mm of oil in the forks and it is much stiffer. Night and day from before.
