Yamaha 2006 GRIZZLY 125, Owner'S Manual

Page: 76 / 153

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 slip-
pery or loose, it may help to position more of
your weight over the front wheels by moving for-
ward 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 throt-
tle changes, excessive braking, incorrect body
movements, or too much speed for the sharp-
ness of the turn may cause the ATV to tip. If the
ATV begins to tip over to the outside while nego-
tiating 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.
