Safety switch
The safety switch is located under the
seat. Turn to ‘on’ to power on the
motorcycle. Turn to ‘off’ to power down.
Note that this prevents the alarm and
anti‐theft from functioning. The
motorcycle should always be powered
down if not used for a long period of
time, to prevent damage to the battery.
