Learn How Much Pressure To Apply to the Brakes

From one OHV to another, even within the same model, brake sensitivity can vary significantly.

Each time you operate a different OHV, start slowly and practice braking. The pressure you normally use on another ATV may not work as well on this one.

  • With sluggish brakes, your normal pressure may not stop the OHV in time.
  • With sensitive brakes, your normal pressure may cause you to lose control of the OHV or even get thrown off.
