International models have been equipped with sidestands that
have safety switches to prevent operation of the motorcycle if the
sidestand is deployed.
WARNING
An improperly retracted sidestand could contact the ground and
cause a loss of control resulting in serious injury or death. Always
retract the sidestand fully before operating the motorcycle.
To park the motorcycle, swing the end of the sidestand downward
and away from the motorcycle until it is fully extended. Always
turn the handlebars to the left for maximum stability. Lean the
motorcycle to the left until the sidestand firmly supports the
motorcycle.
CAUTION
If the motorcycle weight is not resting on the sidestand, it will not
lock. In this situation, any movement of the motorcycle could
cause the sidestand to retract slightly. If the sidestand is not in the
full forward position when the motorcycle weight is rested on it,
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.
See page 61 for parking instructions, including parking on slopes
and soft surfaces.
