Active Riding - Arctic Cat 650 H1 2010 Operator's Manual

Active Riding

Overview
"Active Riding" is the second part of "P.A.S.S." It involves an understanding of
how your body weight, balance, gravity, and physical forces affect the handling
of the ATV. For example, when you drive a car quickly into a sharp turn, your
body is pulled to the outside of the vehicle by centrifugal force. Although a car is
relatively stable, enough centrifugal force can cause an ATV to overturn. Con-
stantly shifting your weight is one major difference between driving a car and
riding an ATV. Knowing how to shift your weight is necessary to avoid rolling or
flipping the ATV.
For complete operating instructions, see ATV OPERATION section in this man-
ual.
