How to Ride the Motorcycle
104
Parking
Warning
Gasoline 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.
Failure to follow the above advice may
cause a fire resulting in damage to
property or personal injury.
Warning
The engine and exhaust system will be
hot after riding.
DO NOT park where pedestrians
and children are likely to touch the
motorcycle.
Touching any part of the engine or
exhaust system when hot may cause
unprotected skin to become burnt.
Warning
Do not park on a soft or on a steeply
inclined surface.
Parking under these conditions may
cause the motorcycle to fall over
causing damage to property and
personal injury.
To park the motorcycle:
• 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. Engage first gear to prevent
the motorcycle from moving.
• On a lateral (sideways) incline,
always park such that the incline
naturally pushes the motorcycle
towards the side stand.
