Finally !! The shocking story of how to "Tune your Suspension" !!! - - ATV at Off-Road.com
Ride height, is your most important suspension adjustment! The rear suspension should sag by about 1/3 of its total travel (total travel is something like 9") Don't end up making it to mushy...it won't handle right!
Get some of those C-wrenches, and just unlock the lock ring and run the adjustment ring out a little ways.
After you get the ride height correct, then you can fine tune it using the compression and rebound dampers. See your owner's manual for the stock positions. Reset them there, then ride it trying different settings and see how you like it. I generally like lots of rebound damping, otherwise the rear end bucks me in big desert whoops........
