Sidestand
(fig. 41)
Important
Before lowering the sidestand, check that the ground
is sufficiently even and firm.
Do not park on soft ground, gravel or on asphalt softened by
the sun etc. or the motorcycle may fall over.
When parking on a slope, always park with the rear wheel on
the downhill side.
To lower the sidestand, hold the motorcycle handlebars with
both hands and, with your foot, push down the stand (1)
until fully extended. Tilt the motorcycle until the sidestand is
resting on the ground.
Warning
Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported on
the sidestand.
To raise the sidestand to rest position (horizontal), tilt the
motorcycle to the right and, at the same time, lift the stand (1)
with your foot.
Notes
It is advisable to check periodically that the stand
mechanism (consisting of two springs, one inside the other)
and safety sensor (2) are working properly.
Notes
The engine can be started with the sidestand down
and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged,
pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).
