Parking
Basic Operation & Riding
Look for a level parking area. If you
can’t park on a paved surface, make
sure the ground surface is firm,
especially under the side stand.
If you must park on a hill, leave the
transmission in gear and position the
rear tire against the curb at a 45 degree
angle.
Use the side stand to support the
motorcycle while parked.
To lower the side stand, use your foot
to guide it down. Remember that
lowering the side stand with the
transmission in gear will stop the
engine, even if the clutch lever is
pulled in. That is a function of the
side stand ignition cut-off system.
Check that the side stand is down all
the way so that the side stand ignition
cut-off system (page
) is activated.
If you have to park on a soft surface,
insert something solid under the side
stand for support.
Use the steering lock ( ), which locks
the handlebar in place. Turn the
handlebar all the way to the left. Insert
the ignition key ( ) in the lock and turn
it 180 degrees clockwise. Remove the
key.
