i believe you can adjust the suspension. look at the back one and see if there are notches that liik like stairs, adjusting the shock to a lower notch should soften it up.

have you setup your atv for your particular body weight?

i lke to set mine at 2 inches sag in the rear and 3 inches in the front.

measure the rear from the ground to the grab bar.
then sit on it and measure again. should only go down about 2 inches.
using the bumper as a guide do the same on the front at 3 inches.  
Keep it RUBBER SIDE DOWN!!
