Yamaha's
Electric Power Steering, an industry first, makes riding more comfortable.
This is especially convenient when riding over rough terrain or riding
with the racks loaded, when steering can take more energy. The system
is driven by a dedicated ECU that measures steering input force versus
tire resistance and vehicle speed, then provides appropriate assist
to the steering column through an electric motor. This system helps
lighten steering for more comfort on rough terrain. The process takes
only milliseconds to calculate and engage, so the rider never even knows
that the EPS is activated, except for the comfort in controlling the
machine. It also greatly reduces the torque needed to steer the ATV
when in 4-wheel full diff-lock.
