Side stand
Attention
The position of the side stand is identified on
the instrument panel by the warning light. When the
warning light is on, the side stand is lowered (and the
engine start is inhibited).
Important
Place the motorcycle on the side stand only
when you are not going to use it for short periods of
time. Before lowering the side stand, make sure that
the bearing surface is hard and flat.
Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt
melted by the sun, etc. or else the motorcycle may
fall over. When parking downhill, always position the
motorcycle with the rear wheel facing downhill.
To pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle
handlebars with both hands and push down on the
side stand (1) with your foot until it is fully extended.
Tilt the motorcycle until the side stand is resting on
the ground.
To move the side stand to its "resting" position
(horizontal position), lean the motorcycle to the right
while lifting the thrust arm (1) with your foot.
