RIDING
Making Turn s
Practice making turns at slo w speeds.
Polaris ATVs are equipped with a solid rear axle which drives both
rear wheels equally at all times. This means that the wheel on the
outside of the turn must travel a greater distance than the inside
wheel when turning and the inside tire must slip traction slightly.
To turn, steer in the d irection of the turn leaning your upper body
to the inside o f the turn while supporting your weight on the outer
footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between the
rear wheels allowing the turn to be made smoothly. The same
leaning technique should be used for turning in reverse.
Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse as tipover and severe
injury may result.
