Default STR wants to sit up with pillion & back heavy?

Hi all,

Took the wife out on Sunday using stock settings (not done sag yet) but in the corners I had the feeling the bike was pulling to sit up right and it felt very heavy at the back and light at the front, any ideas how I can rectify these?

Is your good lady ( even subconciously ) trying to get the bike upright?
If so, that's 1 problem solved.

Nope she goes where I go and I go with the bike 100% no body balancing/steering here.
