SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY

Turning Exercise
Turning is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. It is easier for the vehicle to lose traction or
rollover if you turn too sharply, or go too fast. Slow down when you approach a turn.
Practice turning:
• First, learn how to perform slight right turns at very low speeds. Release the throttle before turning
and slowly reapply the throttle.
• Repeat the turning exercise, but this time maintain the throttle at the same level while turning.
• Finally, repeat the turning exercise while accelerating slowly.
• Practice exercises turning to the left.
Note how your vehicle reacts in these dierent exercises. CFMOTO recommends releasing the throttle
before entering a turn to help initiate directional change. You will feel the lateral force increasing with the
speed and with your steering input. The lateral force should be maintained as low as possible to make
sure it does not cause the vehicle to roll over.
U-turn Exercise
Practice doing U turns:
• Accelerate slowly and while remaining at low speed, gradually turn the steering wheel to the right
until you have completed the U-turn.
• Repeat U-turn exercise with dierent steering inputs and always at a very low speed.
• Repeat U turn exercise to the left.
As mentioned before in this manual, do not ride on paved surfaces. The vehicle behavior will not be the
same, increasing the risk of rollover.
