Default front end dives when i let off the gas. normal???

i just bought an 03 ds650. and when i am driving it and pin it and then let off the gas to decelerate it feels like the front dives down. is this normal? i am used to driving an 87 mojave. Is this normal with the high performance atvs? Does it do this just because when you give it a lot of gas the rear shock will compress, and the front end will lift up. anyone have any idea what im talking about or if im making any sense? lol.
Can i make the fonrt end a little stiffer?

Hey dude whats up, sounds like to me your supsion in the front is a little soft but if u ride in the sand i would not mess with it. Bombardiers Ds has alot of torch at the real wheels which will cause your front end to come up under accerlation. When u let off it will go down back to normal. But in my picture i dont know how much yours is going down, but yes it is normal for your front end to go down when u let off the gas.

Just crank your front springs up a couple of turns. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

ya, that must be what it is then. it is probably just the front end coming up from the torque and then goin back to normal. I weght 255 so i think im gonna ust turn the front springs up a little to make them a little more stiff.
