Beginning To Ride Turning an ATV

Turning

Consult your owner's manual for the proper technique to turn your ATV. At low to moderate speeds, you should:

  • Move your body weight forward, and lean in the direction of the turn.
  • Turn the handlebars while looking where you are turning.
  • If your ATV starts to tip while turning, lean your body farther into the turn while gradually reducing speed.
  • Increase your speed slightly as you come out of the turn.

Leaning into a Turn

While turning, always slide forward and lean into the turn on the inside of the seat. The faster the turn, the more you need to lean.
