Parking

To prevent theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the

If you park in a garage or other indoor area, make sure that
there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near

You may leave the parking lights on by turning the key to
position P.
Important
Do not leave the key turned to P for long periods or the
battery will run down. Never leave the motorcycle
unattended with the ignition key inserted.

system with any part of your body and do not park the
motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves, etc.).
Warning
Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent
motorcycle motion, such as brake disc locks, rear sprocket
locks, and so on is dangerous and may impair motorcycle
operation and affect the safety of rider and passenger.
