Turning Your ATV
WARNING
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this Operator’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. ATV could go out of control
causing a collision or overturn.
Leaning, Weight Shift, and Balance
When turning your ATV, the goal is to move forward and slide over to the side of
the seat that is on the inside of the turn. Support your body weight on the outside
footrest and lean your body into the inside of the turn. Pay attention to the ATVs
handling. If you feel the tires coming o the ground, reduce speed, shift more of
your body weight to the side of the ATV that is lifting, and make the turn wider if
possible.
Wide Turns
About 20% of ATV accidents happen during turns. If you don’t understand turning
techniques, you can lose control of your ATV by losing traction, plowing, or tipping.
Use this riding method for wide turns:
1. Ease o the throttle as you approach the turn to slow down.
2. Use the principles of leaning, weight shifting, and balancing: shift your body
weight to the inside of the turn.
3. Gradually increase your speed as you come out of the turn.
