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-

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-

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.
