How to Ride the Motorcycle
155
Warning
Do not park on a soft or on a steeply
inclined surface. Parking under these
conditions may cause the motorcycle
to fall over causing damage to
property and personal injury.
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. This
is particularly important when parking
off-road.
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 side
stand.
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, license plate and
position lights on by turning the
ignition switch to P (PARK) on
Tiger 1200 XR models.
For Tiger 1200 XR models, do not leave
the switch in the P position for long
periods of time as this will discharge the
battery.
