Front wheel lift off?

[Commuter]

Set up of bike I think, but would appreciate a few opinions:

Took the long way home this evening and noticed that the front wheel was lifting in deep bends/roundabouts. If I can describe:

Coming into corner, look through corner, give it the juice and there you have it, front wheel up. Gear selection seems right and not a massive handful on the exit. Noticed it the most going into a small roundabout flicking the bike right then left, very noticeable front wheel jump.

Back to soft, front set to hard? What you reckon? I have dialled a little more into the back this evening and will do the same route tomorrow.

Any ideas / pointers / similar experiences?

If this behaviour is worrying you then get the manual out and reset everything to factory settings and see what happens.

Personally, lifting the front wheel coming out of roundabouts is something I like to do. However, since the addtion of a few stone it rarely happens

My Dominator used to be wicked for such stunts. Roll off the throttle going into a bend which compressed the suspension then whack it open at the apex which produced a rapid pogo stick effect that lifted the front wheel whilst still leaning over. Scared the shit out of me the 1st time it happened but I learnt to enjoy it.

The telelever on the GS should prevent this malarkey.

Try softening the back end a little on both spring and rebound setting as it is not sitting down when you apply the power.
The bike sounds like it is set up very stiff so at any little rise or power on it will lift the front.

I is set soft already

Full standard soft setting already. Actually set it harder this morning and it "feels" better. The same rount this evening will tell. I am a slim !! 20 stone so the suspension might be bottoming out?

I have mine on max preload at the back and near minimum at the front. It handles great and will only lift at the front when I want to on purpose.
