Basics first. Have you checked the tyre pressures? They have a huge effect on the bikes handling.

My 6r always felt like that from new... maybe certain tyre combinations don't suit it?

Did you have a metzler on before? Has the back wheel been aligned properly?

Have you had the front forks checked when you had the service done? They made need fresh oil or need topping up that could explain the lack of feel at the front end if everything else checks out then maybe try this.
