IMO it will have the same effect on any bike, but more pronounced on bikes with a shorter wheelbase because the naturally tend to turn in / lean in faster especially the nakeds with the high handlebars.

I had the same problem riding Bridgestone 002 race tires on the street. The triangular profile makes them fall in fast at street pace and lean angles and you often have to counter-counter steer to keep the bike from leaning over too much. It was a handful in the mountains of North GA. I switched to some BT-090 takeoffs and it handles much better on the road due to the round profile. For the track however the triangular profile gives much better turn in at high speed and I would switch back.

Dave Despain, it's not you or a brain tumor, it's the triangular tread profile of the front Pirelli Diablo. Switch to a front tire with a round profile, like Dunlop, and your bike will steer with normal countersteering, instead of counter-countersteering. Pirelli Diablos are track only for advanced racers, and even they have trouble, ask Nikky Hayden. Your KLR did not have a triangular Pirelli Diablo front tire so it steers normally.
