Parking
Stop and park the motorcycle on the side stand (see
page 22).
To avoid theft, turn the handlebar fully left and block it by
pushing in the ignition key and turning it to the
LOCK
position (fig. 22.2).
If you park in a garage or other facilities, make sure that
there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not
near a source of heat or sparks.
You may leave the parking lights on by turning the key to
position
P (fig. 22.2).
Important
Do not leave the key turned to P for long periods or
the battery will run down. Never leave the ignition key in
the switch when you are leaving your bike unattended.
