By ‘skittish’ do you mean the front is juddering?
You might be ‘topping out’?? An old racing trick is to stick some cable ties round the fork stanchions, slide them down to the rubber dustcover. Then go out for a ride braking/cornering normally (which I presume if you are having problems is hard?!) when you get back you can see how far up the stanchion the cable ties have been pushed, this indicates how far the forks are travelling. If they are anywhere near the bottom yoke, then you are probably ‘topping-out’.
Another possibility is that you are getting ‘pumpdown’, but to be honest you would need incorrectly adjusted (and therefore adjustable) rebound damping for this to happen.
What is the state of your front tyre?
