Unhappy Lack of confidence in leaning

Hello! I'm a fairly new XT660Z owner, been riding it for 3000km or so and found it a great bike. I have a problem though, but it's not the bike... It's me. In fact, I like to drive it swiftly and enjoy tight-cornering at slower speeds just to pull out all the torque it has afterwards, which puts smiles on my face, but past a certain speed I experience a total loss of confidence in leaning. I can't help but picture my front wheel sliding away and the whole subsequent crash scene... What can I do? My body just won't move past a certain angle, leading me to dangerously approach the outer part of a turn. My tires talk clearly: I'm nowhere nere the limit of them, and I must say the are brand new really good road tires (Dunlop Trail max TR91).

Can someone advise? I kind of find it embarrassing, but most of all the danger while riding and facing an unforseen turn late is real.
