Sliding And Skidding - Yamaha BIG BEAR YFM400NN Owner's Manual

SLIDING AND SKIDDING

Care should be used when riding on loose
or slippery surfaces since the ATV may
slide. If unexpected and uncorrected, slid-
ing could lead to an accident.
To reduce the tendency for the front
wheels to slide in loose or slippery condi-
tions, positioning your weight over the
front wheels will sometimes help.
If the rear wheels of your ATV start to slide
sideways, control can usually be regained
(if there is room to do so) by steering in the
direction of the slide. Applying the brakes
or accelerating is not recommended until
you have corrected the slide.
