4.7. Parking the motorcycle
❑
Using the sidestand
CAUTION
Park the motorcycle safely on solid ground.
On slopes, engage the first gear and park
the vehicle so that the front wheel faces
uphill. Remember to put the gear lever in the
neutral position before restarting the engi-
ne. Never leave the vehicle unattended
while the engine key is in the dashboard.
Do not sit on the vehicle when it is parked
on the sidestand, as your full weight would
rest on the vehicle’s only support. Before
riding off, ensure that the sidestand war-
ning light on the instrument panel goes out.
In any case, make sure that the stand has
been retracted. If you notice a malfunction
of the side stand switch, have it controlled
by your MV Agusta dealer before using the
motorcycle.
Using your foot, lower the sidestand as far as it will go, and then slowly tip the motorcycle toward you
to bring the stand supporting foot into contact with the ground’s surface.
