A few people have noted it in the past. Usual recommendations are to crank up the rear shock preload and raise the forks in the triple-tree by 5 to 10mm. This puts a little more of the weight bias back to the front wheel. The spend money fixes are to get new springs weighted for rider + gear that you normally carry (minimal investment). A rear shock rebuild/revalve is the middle ground with a new shock/fork cartridges being the big spend. I have a 2015, and turning up the rear preload, raising the forks in the triple tree and raising the rear compression/rebound to a 1/4 turn off of max setting fixed the light/flighty front end feeling. It also doesn't do the rocking horse on fast sweepers anymore, though it still doesn't feel planted when pushed. 230lbs with gear, for reference.
