Parking
Try, when possible, to park on level ground. If you have no paved
surface to park on, make sure the ground is firm. If it is necessary for
you to park on a hill, position your rear wheel against the curb at an
angle and leave the transmission in gear.
While parked, use the side stand for support.
- Use your foot to guide the side stand down.
- Put something solid under the side stand if you must park on a soft
surface.
Always use the steering lock when your motorcycle is parked, this
will lock the handlebars in place.
- Turn the handler bars left
- Insert ignition key into lock and turn clockwise 90˚, remove key.
Turn fuel valve “OFF”.
