ATV Operation

Wide Turns

About 20% of ATV accidents happen

during turns. If you don’t understand

turning techniques, it’s easy for the

ATV to get away from you by losing

traction, plowing, or tipping. Use this

method for wide turns:

ATV-0046

ATV-0045

ATV-0044

1. Ease off 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.

Sharp Turns

After mastering wide turns, practice

the advanced skill of sharp turns.

ATV-0038

ATV-0039

ATV-0040

1. Ease off 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. You might have to lean into the turn

more than you do in a wide turn.

4. If shifting your weight and balance

aren’t enough to keep the ATV

tires on the ground, straighten out

the handlebar as much as you can.

5. Gradually increase your speed as

you come out of the turn.
