eek. I thought that was subtle but to the point

One item forgotton here is the rear shock. Is it standard or after market.
If standard adjust the preload to the hardest position and try the bike to see if it has improved. this makes th e bike sit higher at the rear putting more weight on the front
A soft rear shock can take the weight of the front and make it more difficult to turn in.
If it is aftermarket adjust the preload to make it sit higher at the rear.turn it one ring at the time (tighten the spring) to see if it improves.Trial and error so may take a few trys to get it right.
Usually the static sag start point is 25 mm at the front and 12mm at the rear.

Check the tyres. A squared off rear makes it harder to turn in.

You and the Dudeness had it bang on. I just put a new front tyre on and she's back to her beautiful smooth cornering

I'd still check the fork oil....... 

would be a bit awkward to do though wouldn't it? he'd have to take the forks out just to check the oil. if you're going down that route you might as well replace the oil

I owned a bike once (can't remember now) that had a little philips screw on the bottom of each leg that allowed complete draining of the fork.....very handy.

Steering head bearings too tight / too loose / banjaxed?
