It could be down to how you ride it. On sports bikes you very rarely "actively" counter steer, just move your body position a little and you "should" move the bars too. Well, that's how it works for me....

With the dynamics of the steering, trying too hard to push the bars seems really odd and unnatural. You can't really give them a big tug to get the bike over, it's more subtle than that.

Having said all of this, on a modern SS600, you should only have to think "turn" and it's doing it. If that's not the case then something ain't right....
