Annoying chatter

So I went on. My first, more technical trail ride today. It was ten miles but took 3 hours. A lot of boulders, Stream crossings. With steep entry and exits. Some decent hill climbs. And down hills. I noticed a few things about my new sportsman. The plastic rear rack does a great job of ripping leaves from branches,and stuffing them under the rack. This thing is an absolute monster in AWD low. I climbed up and out of everything I put it in. I can't complain about the factory tires either. Now the only bad. Is the rear tire chatter when going down hill, Either fast or slow. It's like the EBS slows down the tires so much. They would hop the rear end down the hill. It's annoying and loud, And don't remember my old 2002 doing it. Or even my dad as newer 850. It didn't so it when easing down into the creeks, But going down a decent hill. Dirt or rock. After applying the breaks. And the EBS would kick in. And the ass end would hop. Is that normal, Or is the ebs breaking to hard.

My 13 850 does that too. And that in 2wd. the engine breaking is too much I feel like sometimes. If I let off the gas going down a hill, it almost locks up the rear end and it hops and skids. Kinda annoying and that's the only thing I don't like about the quad..
