Hi gang,
Any advice please?

2003 XB9S with stock Dunlop on front, plenty of tire left. Back Dunlop hit a nail, I removed the tire, bought a Michelin Pilot Power from RonAyers, had a local motorcycle shop replace and balance the tire. Re-installed according to manual, but it seems to "float" or "squishy" now. I have given the tire time to warm up when riding and the "new" is worn in, about 700 miles on it. It does not handle well on turns, where as before it was on rails.

Tire pressure according to manual,

Suspension settings according to manual.

I saw the posts about not mixing tire types. I don't want to spend money on replacing the front tire if this won't fix the problem.

Regards,
