    You can back off compression and rebound - adjust the preload and sag for your weight... but I don't think you'll get it soft enough for your weight and/or skill level.
    There's a real good chance you'll need to look at spring options and probably damper valving options as well.

    There are several good suspension tuners out there... perhaps someone more familiar with Husky suspension specialists than I can steer you in the right direction.

    At your weigh with that bike you will need a revalve. Send it to Les at LTracing and be amazed how much better your bike is. Seriously, the best money you could ever spend on your bike.

    I second this advice. I ride a 610 and I weigh about 2lbs more than you do. The suspension is waaay too stiff from the factory for lighweights like us. Les at LTR knows what he's doing and he's reasonably priced. Good suspension is where you'll get the most bang for you buck when it comes to mods.
