Long time rider of ATVs, with most of it on a Honda 300 Sprottrack. Moved to a Dirt bike about 7 years ago, but wanted to go back to an ATV so picked up a 2009 700xx. Incredible ride on the tight trail riding i prefer.
Problem is occasionally my wife likes to go for a ride. She has a Polaris Sportsman. But she prefers ORV routes versus trails. In Michigan a route is generally a dirt road or 2 track (poor dirt road). When riding these they are often washboard and the front end of the 700 shakes so bad it makes for a miserable ride.
Any suggestions? I think my tires are at 6psi. Was wondering if increasing the pressure might actually help settle it down. I have found shifting my weight rearward helps, but hard to keep weight shifted back for 2 hours.
