KYMCO Mongoose 250, Owner'S Manual

Page: 88 / 160

This procedure should be practiced at slow
speed many times in a large off-road area with
no obstacles. If an incorrect technique is used,
your ATV may continue to go straight. If the ATV
doesn't turn, come to a stop and then practice
the procedure again. If the riding surface is
slippery or loose, it may help to position more of
your weight over the front wheels by moving
forward on the seat.
Once you have learned this technique you
should be able to perform it at higher speeds or
in tighter curves.
Improper riding procedures such as abrupt
throttle changes, excessive braking, incorrect
body movements, or too much speed for the
sharpness of the turn may cause the ATV to tip. If
the ATV begins to tip over to the outside while
negotiating a turn, lean more to the inside. It
may also be necessary to gradually let off on the
throttle and steer to the outside of the turn to
avoid tipping over.
Remember: Avoid higher speeds until you are
thoroughly familiar with the operation of your
ATV.
