NOTE ON THE CENTER STAND:
The following procedure is recommended to park the motorcycle on the
center stand with as little effort as possible:
a) press the center stand down to the ground with your foot
b) swing out the kickstarter, pull the motorcycle diagonally towards the
back while putting the weight on the center stand stabilizer
(see illustration).
Make sure the motorcycle is parked on a firm surface.
NOTE ON THE SIDE STAND:
Push the side stand all the way forward with your foot and tilt the motorcy-
cle to the side. Make sure the motorcycle is parked on a firm surface.
Engage a gear to be safe.
If you mounted side trunks and a top case, only use the side stand on a
firm, horizontal surface. Remember that the side stand will swing up rapidly
when released.

Fuel, refueling
In the condition at delivery the LC4 engine requires unleaded premium-
grade fuel with at least 91 octane (ROZ).
If this type of fuel is not available, it is easy to change over to the pre-
programmed ignition curve for 80 - 90 octane (ROZ) (see activating the
ignition curve for low-octane fuel).

Fuel expands when heated. Do not fill the tank to the upper edge (see drawing).
Activating the ignition curve for low-octane fuel
If you are traveling to a country where fuel having at least 915 octane
(ROZ) is not available, you can easily activate the corresponding ignition
curve.
A plug and socket connection
1
on a brown/black cable is located on the
right side of the vehicle next to the CDI box .
If the two connectors are connected to each other, the ignition curve for
fuel having at least 91 octane (ROZ) is activated.
If you disconnect the plug and socket connection, the ignition curve for fuel
having 80 - 91 octane (ROZ) is activated. Although this causes the engine
to lose some of its power output, it prevents poor glow ignitions and engine
damage.
