Attention
Before lowering the sidestand, make sure that
the supporting surface is hard and flat.
Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt
melted by the sun, etc. or else the motorcycle may
fall over.
When parking downhill, always position the
motorcycle with the rear wheel facing downhill. To
pull down the sidestand, hold the motorcycle
handlebar with both hands and push down on the
sidestand (1) with your foot until it is fully extended.
Tilt the motorcycle until the sidestand is resting on
the ground.
Attention
Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is
supported on the side stand.
