OPERATION
Parking the Motorcycle
Notice Asphalt pavement can become soft in hot weather. The sidestand can sink into soft asphalt until the motor-
cycle falls over. When parking on asphalt in hot weather, use a sidestand footrest under the foot of the side-
stand to prevent the sidestand from sinking into the asphalt.
A hot engine or hot exhaust pipes can be hazardous. The engine and exhaust pipes are hot for some time
after the engine is stopped. Touching the engine or exhaust pipes while hot can cause serious burns.
Allowing flammable materials to contact a hot engine or exhaust pipes may cause a fire. Park the
motorcycle where people will not touch the engine or exhaust pipes and where it is not near flammable
materials.
