motorcycle to the left until the sidestand firmly supports the

the motorcycle could fall over, possibly causing injury and
damage to the motorcycle.
To retract the sidestand, straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the
fully upright position. Swing the end of the sidestand upward and
toward the motorcycle until it is fully retracted.
