Parking
When parking the motorcycle, stop the engine and remove the
main switch key. To prevent your motorcycle from tipping over, do
not park your motorcycle on a slope or on soft ground.
The engine, muffler, and exhaust components are hot
after operation. To prevent serious burns, allow to cool
before touching.
