Turning the ATV improperly could be hazardous. If you turn the ATV improperly, it may cause a collision or overturn.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this section. Practice turning at low speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds. Never turn at excessive speeds.
To turn the ATV, the rider must use the proper technique. Because this vehicle has a solid rear axle, both rear wheels
always turn at the same speed. This means that if the rear wheels are getting equal traction, the vehicle will tend to
move straight ahead. This is because the rear wheels will travel the same distance. For the vehicle to turn, the
outside rear wheel must travel a longer distance that the inside rear wheel. To make this happen, the rider must
create less traction for the inside wheel, allowing it to skid. This allows it to travel a shorter distance than the outside
wheel. This happens even though both wheels are still turning at the same speed.

speed or the turn sharpness increases. This means you must lean your body farther into the turn as you go faster or
turn more sharply. This prevents the Vehicle from tipping over to the outside of the turn. If your ATV starts to tip while
