I don't have that specific quad, but I can offer a couple of ideas. Switch to aluminum bars to absorb more of the vibration, install a set of gel grips and wear gloves that are intended for use with impact tools. If you install gel grips that are intended for a motocross bike, you'll need to trim the thumb guard off to clear the thumb throttle. I have a pair of Mechanix M-Pact and a pair of Makita (can't recall the model name) gloves. They do a good job.


The next thing is to try and operate the engine above or below the vibrating range. What is the current sprocket ratio setup? Maybe increasing a tooth on the countershaft sprocket will do the trick.
