Got an owner's manual??? It will tell you what the "stock" suspension settings are. I would reset it to stock, then ride it and adjust it to your personal taste after that:

The shake could be tires or even a bent rim.

Not sure what you mean by "smaller" tires. In any case, I would ditch whatever it has on it, and get some aftermarket tires. I run ITP Holeshot XC's, but I ride desert. I also like to run ITP rims, because they are wider than stock and have a greater offset. This makes the quad several inches wider...for a real nice increase in stability.

they are dougles rims that are almost brand new and same with the tires but they make the quad sit like 2 inchs lower becouse the tire is so small ...they are off of a 250r....i have a picture of it but dont kno how to put it on here?

It sounds like a common tire to run for MX, the small front tire grabs better in the corners but may not be likeable on the trails.
