New owner 2004 R1150R. Front end dives noticeably when lifting off throttle and braking. Is this normal? If not, how do I fix it?

Front shocks leaking? Not normal behavior.

That behavior is not normal and as indicated before I'd get the front shock inspected.

anything you get will be expensive.
Ted Porter's Beemer shop is THE place in my opinion. Customer service like no other and all major brands. Ted will educate you. Google them and give a call

It might seem a bit obvious but make sure your rear brake is working well. If the front is all that is working it can cause the bike to dive.
