PARKING
When parking the motorcycle, observe the
following:
Select neutral and turn the ignition switch to
the ‘OFF’ position. Lock the steering to help
prevent theft.
Always park on a firm, level surface to
prevent the motorcycle from falling.
When parking on a hill, always park facing
uphill to prevent the motorcycle from rolling
off the stand.
On a lateral (sideways) incline, always park
such that the incline naturally pushes the
motorcycle towards the sidestand.
Do not park on a lateral (sideways) incline of
greater than 6
_
and never park facing
downhill.
NOTE:
S
When parking near traffic at night,
leave the licence plate and
position lights on by turning the
ignition switch to P (Park).
S
Do not leave the switch in the ‘P’
position for long periods as this
will discharge the battery.
WARNING: Do not park on a
soft or on a steeply inclined
surface as parking under these
conditions may cause the motorcycle
to fall over.
Ensure that the stand is fully retracted
before riding off.
Petrol is extremely flammable and can
be
explosive
under
certain
conditions. If parking inside a garage
or other structure, be sure it is well
ventilated and the motorcycle is not
close to any source of flame or
sparks. This includes any appliance
with a pilot light.
The engine and exhaust system will
be hot after riding. DO NOT park
where pedestrians and children are
likely to touch the motorcycle as
touching any of the hot parts may
cause unprotected skin to become
burnt.
