TURNING YOUR ATV
To achieve maximum traction while riding
off-road, the two rear wheels are mounted
solidly on one axle and turn together at the
same speed. Therefore, unless the wheel
on the inside of the turn is allowed to slip
or lose some traction, the ATV will resist
turning. A special turning technique must
be used to allow the ATV to make turns
quickly and easily. It is essential that this
skill be learned first at low speed.
As you approach a curve, slow down and
begin to turn the handlebars in the desired
direction. As you do so, put your weight on
the footboard to the outside of the turn
(opposite your desired direction) and lean
your upper body into the turn. Use the
throttle to maintain an even speed through
the turn. This maneuver will let the wheel
on the inside of the turn slip slightly, allow-
ing the ATV to make the turn properly.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Turning improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The ATV could go out of control, caus-
ing a collision or overturn.
q
WARNING
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
turning as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
Practice turning at low speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do
not turn at speeds too fast for your
skills or the conditions.
