STEERING YOUR ATV
To achieve maximum traction while riding off road, the two rear wheels 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. A special turning technique must be used to
allow the ATV to make turns quickly and easily.
It is essential that this skill be learned first at low speed.
As you approach a curve, slow down and begin to turn the handlebars in the desired direction. As you do so, put your weight on the foot
board to the outside of the turn (opposite your desired direction and lean your upper body into the turn. Use the throttle to maintain an
even speed through the turn. This maneuver will let the wheel on the inside of the turn slip slightly, allowing the ATV to make the turn
properly
This procedure should be practiced at slow speed many times in a large off-road area with no obstacles. If an incorrect technique is used,
your ATV may continue to go straight. If the ATV doesn't turn, come to a stop and then practice the procedure again. If the riding surface
is slippery or loose, it may help to position more of your weight over the front wheels by moving forward on the seat.
Once you have learned this technique, you should be able to perform it at higher speeds or in tighter curves.
Improper riding procedures such as abrupt throttle changes, excessive braking, incorrect body movements, or too much speed for the
sharpness of the turn may cause the ATV to tip. If the ATV be gins to tip over to the outside while negotiating a turn, lean more to the
inside. It may also be necessary to gradually let off on the throttle and steer to the outside of the turn to avoid tipping over.
