SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY
106
Note how your vehicle reacts in these different 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.
Braking Exercise
Practice braking to get familiar with the brake response:
• Practice braking at low speed rst, then increase the speed.
• Practice braking in straight line at dierent speeds and dierent braking forces.
• Practice emergency braking. Optimal braking is obtained in straight line, with high force applied,
without locking the wheels.
Remember, braking distance depends on vehicle speed, load and the type of surface. Also, the tires and
brakes conditions play a major role.
