TURNING
To turn the LT-F400/F, 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 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 out-
side wheel. This happens even
though both wheels are still turn-
ing at the same speed.
To turn the LT-F400/F, use the fol-
lowing technique:
•
Move your body weight for-
ward and to the inside of the
turn.
• Turn the handlebars while
looking in the direction of the
turn.
For HIGHER SPEEDS or
SHARPER TURNS:
Use the same technique that you
use for turning at low speeds, but
move your body weight farther
toward the inside of the turn to
maintain your balance. Natural
turning forces (which can push
the vehicle to the outside of the
turn) increase as speed or 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 turning, lean
your body farther into the turn
while gradually reducing the throt-
tle and making the turn wider, if
possible.

WARNING
Turning the ATV improperly
can be hazardous.
If you turn the ATV improperly,
it may cause a collision or
overturn.
Always follow proper proce-
dures for turning as described
in this section. Practice turning
at low speeds before attempt-
ing to turn at faster speeds.
Never turn at excessive
speeds.
