ATV Operation

Wide Turns

Many accidents happen during turns. If
you don't understand turning techniques,
it's easy for the ATV to get away from
you by losing traction, plowing, or tip-
ping. Use this method for wide turns:
1. Ease off the throttle as you approach
the turn to slow down.
2. Use the principles of leaning, weight
shifting, and balancing—shift your
body weight and passenger's body
weight to the inside of the turn.
3. Gradually increase your speed as
you come out of the turn.
