scribblin,
Mine is slightly stiffer in the back. Not so stiff that I feel every little bump. Just stiff enough to get better grip going through turns-more stable.
I'm not sure about your bike diving while shifting but I can say that the RPM's drop so fast that you really have to barely pull the clutch in-maybe a 1/4 inch-and barely let off the gas while shifting for a smooth change into the next gear. Practice that and it will get smoother and smoother!
