TURNING
Turning the ATV improperly can 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.
WARNING
To turn the ATV, the rider must use the
proper technique. Because this ATV 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 ATV will tend to move straight ahead.
This is because the rear wheels will travel
the same distance.
For the ATV to turn, the outside rear
wheel must travel a greater distance than
the inside rear wheel. To make this
happen, the rider must create less traction
for the inside wheel, allowing it to slip
somewhat. 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.
To turn the ATV, use the following
technique :
● Turn the handlebars in the direction of
the turn.
●
Shift body weight slightly forward and
support your weight on the outer
footrest. This will reduce the load on the
inside rear wheel, reducing its traction.
●
Lean upper body into the turn.
◉ ◉
AT HIGHER SPEEDS :
Use the same technique that you use for
turning at low speeds, but lean farther into
the turn. Natural turning forces (which can
push the ATV to the outside of the turn)
increase as speed increases. This means
you must lean your upper body farther into
the turn as you go faster. This prevents the
ATV from tipping over to the outside of the
turn. Remember, though, to keep your
weight supported on the outer footrest.
If your ATV starts to tip while turning, lean
your body farther into the turn while
gradually reducing the throttle and making
the turn wider, if possible.
