Carefully read 0.5.1 (PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
INFORMATIONS).
Stand:
for the maintenance intervals, see 2.1.1 (REGULAR
SERVICE INTERVALS CHART).
The side stand (1) has two positions:
– normal or lifted ( Pos.A );
– extended ( Pos.B ).
The side stand (1) must rotate without hindrances.
The springs (2) provide for keeping the stand in the de-
sired position (extended or lifted).
Carry out the following checks:
◆
Position the vehicle on the appropriate rear support
stand, see 1.8.2 (POSITIONING THE VEHICLE ON
THE REAR SUPPORT STAND
m
).
◆
The springs (2) must not be damaged, worn, rusty or
weakened.
◆
Make sure that the stand presents no slack in either po-
sition (extended and lifted).
◆
Lower the stand, making sure that the springs provide
for extending it completely.
◆
Move the stand to let it up and release it halfway to
make sure that the springs provide for lifting it com-
pletely.
◆
The side stand must rotate freely, if necessary grease
the joint, see 1.6 (LUBRICANT CHART).
a
WARNING
If the side stand has wrong rotation and inclination
angles, when the vehicle is parked the stability of the
vehicle may be affected, with the consequent risk of
overturning of the vehicle itself.
◆
Check the angle of rotation (C) of the stand between
the two positions (A) and (B).
Stand rotation angle: 109° ± 3°.
◆
With the stand in position (B), check its inclination an-
gle (D) with respect to the vertical axis.
Stand inclination angle: 30° ± 3°.
The side stand (1) is provided with a safety switch (3) that
has the function to prevent or interrupt the operation of
the engine with the gears on and the side stand (1) down.
To check the proper functioning of the safety switch, see
6.6.4 (CHECKING THE SIDE STAND AND THE SAFETY
SWITCH).
