MAKING TURNS
Apply the throttle slowly and gradually when you turn and start up at
the same time. During other turns, use the throttle to maintain the
desired speed throughout the turn. Practice these techniques on level
ground until you are confident in making turns.
To make a turn on level ground, steer the handlebars and lean your
body toward the inside of the turn. (Fig
) Leaning helps balance the
vehicle, and it feels more comfortable. Leaning into a turn is an impor-
tant technique to master in riding a FOURTRAX.
To make a sharp turn at low speed, it helps to shift your body slightly
forward on the seat (Fig
), and lean inside, as you steer the
handlebars. Shifting weight forward allows the rear wheels to turn
easier, and it also improves front-wheel steering. Remember to shift
your body forward to make sharp low-speed turns and whenever you
turn while accelerating from a full stop.
