Welcome - this is a pretty good group to be a part of.

Not normal - probably a check valve problem, although it could also be a 
pinched line or problem in the cap. First, find the vent line at the bottom 
of the bike on the right side. Open the fuel cap. You should now be able to 
blow through the line without problem. If you cannot, your line is either 
pinched or the valve is bad. Check the routing and try again. If no success 
remove the valve from the line (or get it replaced). If the line and valve 
are ok, then the problem is in the cap (line enters on the right and then 
exits near the middle).
