It's almost never pure lean that makes you lose the front, it's brakes, bumps or transitions on/off the throttle. You can go knee down basically straight away on most good street / track tyres but you need to be very careful carrying the front brake. By the third lap, everything should be up to temp for sure.
What sort of tyre pressures were you running?
