TURNING

To turn the ATV,the rider must use the proper technique.Because this vehicle has a solid rear axle, both rear
wheels always turn at the same speed.This means that if the rear wheels are getting equal traction, the vehicle
will tend to move straight ahead.this is because the rear wheels will travel the same distance. For the vehicle
to turn.the outside rear wheel must travel a longer distance than the inside rear wheel.To make this happen,
the rider must create less traction for the inside wheel,allowing it skid.this allows it to travel a shorter distance
than the outsidewheel. This happens even though both wheels are still turning at the same speed.
WARNING
Turning the ATV improperly could be hazardous.
If you turn the ATV improperly ,it may cause a collision or overturn.
Always follow pro per procedures for turning as described in this section. Practise turning at low speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds. Never turn at excessive speeds.
To turn the ATV,use the following technique:
• Move your body weight forward and to the inside of the turn.
• Turn the handlebar while looking in the direction of the turn.
FOR HIGHER SPEEDS OR SHARPER TURNS
Use the same technique that you move your body weight farther toward the inside
of the turn to maintain your balance.Natural turning forces(which can push the vehicle
to the outside of the turn)increase as the speed or the turn sharpness increases. This means you must lean your
