3. Shift into first gear.
4. Release the brake slowly and

Leaning, Weight Shift,
and Balance
When you turn, the trick is to move
forward and slide over to the side of the
seat that’s on the inside of the turn.
Support your body weight on the inside
footrest. At the same time, lean your
body to the inside of the turn. Pay
attention to the handling—if you feel
the tires coming off the ground, reduce
speed, shift more of your body weight
to the side that’s 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, it’s easy for the
ATV to get away from you by losing
traction, plowing, or tipping. Use this
method for wide turns:
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.
