Sliding And Skidding - Yamaha Badger YFM80M Owner's Manual

SLIDING AND SKIDDING

Care should be used when riding on loose or
slippery surfaces since the ATV may slide. If
unexpected and uncorrected, sliding could
lead to an accident.
To reduce the tendency for the front wheels
to slide in loose or slippery conditions, posi-
tioning your weight over the front wheels
will sometimes help.
If the rear wheels of your ATV start to slide
sideways, control can usually be regained (if
there is room to do so) by steering in the
direction of the slide. Applying the brakes or
accelerating is not recommended until you
have corrected the slide.
