Sidestand
WARNING!
An improperly retracted sidestand could contact the ground during operation and cause
loss of control resulting in serious injury or death. Always make sure the sidestand is fully retracted
before operating the motorcycle.
1. While the motorcycle is in the upright position, push the sidestand downward until it is
fully extended.
2. Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until the full weight of the motorcycle rests safely
on the sidestand.
3. To retract the sidestand, bring the motorcycle to the upright position. Swing the
sidestand upward to its fully retracted position.
4. See page 51 for parking instructions, including parking on slopes and soft surfaces.
CAUTION!
If the motorcycle weight is not resting on the sidestand, it will not lock. In this situation, any
movement of the motorcycle could cause the sidestand to retract slightly. If the sidestand is not in the
full forward position when the motorcycle weight is rested on it, the motorcycle could fall over, possibly
causing injury and damage to the motorcycle.
