K-TURNS
Use the K-turn maneuver if you accidentally stall your ATV while
riding uphill. Using a K-turn will enable you to point the ATV
downhill in a controlled manner and prevent the ATV from roll-
ing back. Use the turning method on this page for K-turns:
1. Stop where you are, apply the brakes, and shift the trans-
mission into neutral
2. Shut off the ATV's engine
3. Keep your body weight shifted forward
4. Dismount the ATV on the uphill side
5. If you are to the left of the ATV, turn the handlebar all the
way to the left
6. Partially release the brake, but lightly hold the brake lever
so you can control the ATV rolling
7. Let the ATV roll slowly to your right side until it faces slightly
downhill
8. Reapply the brakes firmly
9. Remount the ATV from the uphill side, and keep your weight
shifted uphill when you sit down
10. Start the engine and follow the method for riding downhill
