OPERATION

Driving on Slippery Surfaces

Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel,

or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:
1. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
2. Slow down when entering slippery areas.
3. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding

quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.

4. Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the

handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body

weight forward.
