As you approach a curve, slow down and be-
gin to turn the handlebars in the desired direc-
tion. 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. Use the throttle to maintain
an even speed through the turn. This maneu-
ver 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 sur-
face 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.
