There is no travel sensor up front so it is normal.
Along the same lines... is there a top-out sensor up front? I have found that the bike can tell when the front wheel comes off the ground (suspension tops out).
It would be nice if someone would be willing to post up a video and/or description of this:
Put key in ignition and turn on (engine off).
Bike standing vertically not on centerstand.
Press on rear end firmly a few times.
Hold front brake and press on front end firmly a few times (rock bike forward and back).
I'm curious how it looks and feels compared to mine.
