GENERAL INFORMATION
Ignition switch
The ignition switch has three positions,
activated by inserting the ignition key.
1. LOCK.
2. OFF.
3. ON.
Always remove the ignition key when the
motorcycle is parked, to reduce the chance
of theft. The ignition key can be removed
from the ignition barrel when the key is set
to either
LOCK
or
OFF
.
OFF position
The
OFF
position is used to turn the
motorcycle off, disabling the electrical
system. The handlebars do not lock into
position and the motorcycle can be moved
freely.
ON position
The
ON
position activates the motorcycle
and enables the following:
• Instrument panel display turns on.

With the motorcycle on the side stand, insert
the ignition key and turn it clockwise to the
ON
position, to turn the motorcycle on.
Note
: The driving mode cannot be
selected with the side stand down.
Caution
: Do not leave the ignition
switch in the
ON
position for
extended periods of time, or unless
you are intending to ride the
motorcycle. This may cause damage
to electrical components and will
discharge the 12-volt battery and/or
the primary and secondary batteries.
