Default 2001 Bayou 220

So I need to ask other bayou 220 owners, the front suspension on my 2001 bayou 220 is so stiff, it kills my back hitting ruts and bumps. I have 10 pounds pressure now in the front tires. If I let more out, it becomes hard to steer. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike from NY

The manual recommends 3 psi, what tires are you running and on what sort of surface?

Thanks so much! I didn't have a manual , and I didn't know that I had too much pressure in the tires. I also greased a few fittings I found and it steers much easier. My back thanks you, rides so much better.
