: Rear tire chatter under braking???

I have a question for the suspension Guru's,
I have a 2004 gsxr600.
When I hit the throttle in third (or any gear for that matter) and take it to 13k rpm(just high rpm is the point) and I hit the front brake only with some force, but no where near 100%, more like 60% of my braking capability. The back tires either starts to chatter or even starts to slide from the motor compression. I'm not applying the rear brake at all. If I pull in the clutch it's fine.
Is this normal? Can I get rid of this? What should I do?

Thanks in Advance,
Max

Sounds like not enough compression damping in the front and not enough rebound in the rear. THe bike is doing a nose dive. Have you set up the spring sag on the bike? To much sag up front and not enough in the rear could do the same thing.

I haven't set it up at all. I've been riding it the way it came from the dealer. You're right it is nose diving.
Where can I get instructions on how to fully set it up?
