STAND
This motorcycle is equipped with
a center stand and side stand.
CENTER STAND
1
To place the motorcycle on the
center stand, place your foot on
the stand extension and then rock
the motorcycle to the rear and
upward with the passenger hand
rail with your right hand, while
steadying the handlebars with
your left hand.
NOTE: The transmission cannot
shift when the motorcycle is
placed on the center stand. Ride
and move the motorcycle to
inspect shift operation.
SIDE STAND
2
An interlock system is provided to
cut off the ignition circuit when the
side stand is down.
The side stand/ignition interlock
system works as follows:
•
If the side stand is down, the
engine can not be started.
• If the engine is running and the
side stand is put down, the
engine will stop running.

WARNING
Riding with the side stand
incompletely retracted can
result in an accident when you
turn left.
Check operation of the side
stand/ignition interlock sys-
tem before riding. Always
retract the side stand com-
pletely before starting off.
NOTICE
Park the motorcycle on firm,
level ground to help prevent it
from falling over.
If you must park on an incline,
aim the front of the motorcycle
uphill and apply the brake lock
to reduce the possibility of roll-
ing off the side stand. For bet-
ter security, place the
motorcycle on the center
stand.
