Sidestand
(fig. 25)
Important
Before lowering the sidestand, check that the
ground is sufficiently even and hard. Do not park on soft
or pebbled ground or on asphalt melted by the sun etc. or
the motorcycle may fall over.
When parking on a slope, always park with the rear wheel
on the downhill side.
To lower the sidestand, hold the motorcycle handlebars
with both hands and push down on the stand (1) with your
foot until it is fully extended. Tilt the motorcycle until the
sidestand is resting on the ground.
Warning
Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported on
the sidestand.
To raise the sidestand to rest position (horizontal position),
tilt the motorcycle to the right and, at the same time, lift
the stand (1) with your foot.
Notes
It is advisable to check periodically that the stand
mechanism (consisting of two springs, one inside the other)
and safety sensor (2) are working properly.
Notes
The engine can be started with the sidestand down
and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged,
pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).
