Making Turns
Your ATV is equipped with a solid rear axle, which drives both rear
wheels equally at all times. The wheel on the outside of the turn
travels a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning,
and the inside tire slips traction slightly. To turn, steer in
the direction of the turn, leaning your upper body to the
inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the
outer footpeg. 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.
NOTE: Practice making turns a t slow speeds
before attempting to turn at faster speeds.
WARNING
T urning at sharp angles or at excessive speeds can result i n vehicle overturn and lead
to serious injury or death. Avoid turning at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.
