tyre pressure is 14.7 psi

What do you mean by skidding? The rear tire is hopping all over the place.

Is the suspension set up for your weight or just the standard settings?

This is how you correctly set your suspension - Suspension set-up

What year is it?  Any idea how many hours on the suspension since last service?  What do you weigh and what type riding are you doing?  What type tires and what shape are they in?
