Basic Operation & Riding

Riding Your ATV

Learn how to turn your ATV properly. Practice the techniques 
outlined in this section on level ground and at low speeds until you 
are confident in making turns.

Remember that steering the handlebar in the front differential lock 
mode will cause steering to be heavy and increase turning radius.

Making Turns

WARNING

3

WARNING

Turning improperly can make the ATV go out 
of control, causing a collision or overturn.

• Always follow proper procedures for 

turning as described in this owner’s manual.

• Practice turning at low speeds before 

attempting to turn at faster speeds.

• Do not turn at excessive speeds.
