Default Foreman 500 - stiffen rear suspension

I just bought a new 06 foreman 500 s in august. I often ride with my Girlfriend on as a passanger. is there a way for me to stiffen up the rear suspension? I know there is no adjustment available do i have any options?

P.S. i just signed up but i have been reading the forum for a while. Great site

This has got to be the first time I have heard someone say they want to make a Foreman suspension more stiff.
Get some High Lifter springs for it.

I think it's where the girlfriend sits so far back on the bike, all of her weight(what little weight she is) is on the rear and the 230lb me hopps on and it drops down a good bit, a lot more than i would have thought actually.

I am disappointed that i cant adjust them like i can on my old big red.

The HL springs can support more weight.

atvoutfitters.net carries progressive shocks for the Foreman. If you want stiffer, these will do the trick.
