Stock 03 XB9R

I have recently set everything to factory and am having under steer issues. I am 5'7" and 170 lbs. When I try to take a line on an circular on ramp or twisty the bike just wants to go wide and the front tire (very new) seems not to want to grip. I have seen a newer XB12 and my friends FZ1 just rip these corners and I seem to be half their speed. Unfortunately the guy on the XB12 I don't know so I couldn't ask him what his set up was. Any suggestions?
