Turning Your Atv - LONCIN LX50ATV-2 Kitten Owner's Manual

.
1 Steer straight ahead. Close the throttle completely,
remove your thumb from the throttle lever.
2. Gently apply the brakes: pull both hand levers.
Gradually increase the lever pressure as you feel the
brakes slowing your speed. The pressure used depends
on your speed and the condition of the terrain you are
riding. Slick , slippery or muddy ground
Pulling one or both brake levers too hard may cause the
front and/or rear wheels to skid or slide out of control. If
this happens, release all pressure on the lever(s)
immediately. Steer straight ahead to regain control. Then
gently reapply the brakes.
Independent use of only the front or rear brakes reduces
stopping performance. Extreme braking may cause the
wheels to lock, reducing control of the ATV
When possible, reduce speed or brake before entering a
turn. Closing the throttle or braking in mid-turn may cause
wheel slippage which will reduce control of your ATV.

TURNING YOUR ATV

To achieve maximum traction while riding off-road, the
two rear wheels are mounted solidly on one axle and turn
together at the same speed. Therefore, unless the wheel
on the inside of the turn is allowed to slip or lose some
traction, the ATV will resist turning.
When approaching a corner or turn, close the throttle
fully, and slow the ATV down by applying both front and
rear brakes at the same time.
As you do so, put your weight on the footboard to the
outside of the turn (opposite your desired direction) and
lean your upper body into the turn.
After completing the turn, open the throttle Gradually to
accelerate the ATV.
