If your bike suspension is set up right for you're weight then I'd try playing with the clickers.
try decreasing rebound dampening a couple clicks on forks.
Also you can try lowering your forks a few mm in the triple clamps to increase rake and slow the cornering.
When making suspension adjustments, make small adjustments at a time before finding your sweet spot.

I set my bike this way for stop this issue
185 lbs - Vet C
.46 fork spring
Factory connection rear linkage
Michelin S12 front tire
HSSD at the hardest
108 mm sag
Last year I let the bike stock and finnaly get some good result with 110 mm of sag, but loose some handling
I began this season with the linkage and 108 mm sag with a great improvement
Finally I change the .45 spring for the .46 and now my bike engage the curve so well without any stability lost
