How to Ride the Motorcycle
69
Warning
The engine and exhaust system will be
hot after riding. DO NOT park where
pedestrians and children are likely to
touch the motorcycle.
Touching any part of the engine or
exhaust system when hot may cause
unprotected skin to burn.
Select neutral and turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position.
Lock the steering to help prevent theft.
Always park on a firm, level surface to
prevent the motorcycle from falling.
When parking on a hill, always park
facing uphill to prevent the motorcycle
from rolling off the stand. Engage first
gear to prevent the motorcycle from
moving.
On a lateral (sideways) incline, always
park such that the incline naturally
pushes the motorcycle towards the
sidestand.
Do not park on a lateral (sideways)
incline of greater than 6° and never
park facing downhill.
Note:
• When parking near traffic at night,
or when parking in a location where
parking lights are required by law,
leave the tail, licence plate and
position lights on by turning the
ignition switch to P (PARK).
Do not leave the switch in the P position
for long periods of time as this will
discharge the battery.
Make sure that the side stand is fully
retracted before riding off.
