SIDE STAND
To place the vehicle on the side stand
while seated astride the vehicle, see p. 69
(GETTING ON AND OFF THE VEHICLE).

vehicle) requires the stowing of the stand,
to place the vehicle on the stand again,
proceed as follows:

Make sure that the parking surface is
free from obstacles, firm and flat.
◆
Choose a suitable parking area, see
p. 80 (PARKING).

Grab the left handle grip (4) and rest
your right hand:

◆
Put the side stand (6) down with your
right foot. Make sure it is extended
completely and all the way forward.
◆
Lean the vehicle to the left until the stand
rests firmly on the ground.
◆
Turn the handlebars completely against
the left stop.
WARNING
Make sure the vehicle is stable when
parked. If it falls down, it will certainly
be damaged and could injure others as
well.
