Parking
Park your motorcycle in a locked garage whenever possible. If a garage isn't
available, park in a concealed area or in a well-lit area with enough pedestrian
traffic to discourage a thief.
Always take the ignition key with you.
Always use the steering lock (page
63
),
even if you're parking for just a
minute or two. A thief can easily push an unlocked motorcycle to a waiting
truck.
In addition to the steering lock, use a good quality anti-theft device made
specifically to lock a motorcycle to a secure object.
If you decide to use an anti-theft device, select one of good quality and be
sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
The rear fender has a storage compartment to store a U-shaped lock under the
seat. After storing, use the rubber band to securely fasten the lock. Some
U-shaped locks may not be stored in the compartment due to their size or
design.
Keep your owner's manual, current registration, and insurance information
with your motorcycle. This will make it easier for the authorities to find you
if your motorcycle is stolen and recovered.
