Braking
Your ATV is equipped with disc brakes on both front wheels which
are hydraulically activated by operating the brake lever. A single
drum brake on the rear axle housing is mechanically activated by
depressing the brake pedal.
As a general rule, the front braking system provides about 70
percent of total stopping power.
For full braking effectiveness, use both the front brake lever and rear
brake pedal simultaneously. Using both braking systems will stop
your ATV faster with greater stability.
To slow or stop, apply the front brake lever and rear brake pedal
smoothly, while downshifting to match your speed.
Gradually increase braking as you feel the brakes slowing your
speed. The increase in engine compression from downshifting will
help slow your ATV.
For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply the front
brake lever and rear brake pedal controls.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause the wheels to lock and slide,
reducing control of your ATV. If this happens, release the brake
controls, steer straight ahead until you regain control, then reapply
the brakes more gently.
When possible, reduce your speed or complete braking before
entering a turn. Avoid braking or closing the throttle quickly while
turning. Either action may cause one or more wheels to slip and
reduce your control of your ATV.
