Quick Turns - Arctic Cat 500 Operato's Manual

Quick Turns

Quick turns are the most difficult turns
and should only be done after you are
experienced with your ATV.
1. Ease off the throttle as you approach
the turn to slow down.
2. Turn the handlebar, shift your weight,
and balance at the same time as you
enter the turn (use the principles of
leaning, weight shifting, and balanc-
ing—shift your body weight to the
inside of the turn).
3. Follow this with slight acceleration.
4. For multiple turns, repeat this move-
ment as needed.
5. To make your turn quicker, try raising
yourself off the seat a few inches as
you shift your weight.
K-Turns
Use K-turns if you accidentally stall
while riding uphill; you need to take
action before the ATV rolls backward
down the hill.
