Operation
Stopping the Engine
Before stopping the engine, bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. Shift to neutral or dis-
engage the clutch.
WARNING!
Stopping the engine with the transmission in gear while the motorcycle is moving could
cause loss of rear wheel traction or engine and transmission damage, which could cause loss of control
and serious injury or death. Always stop the engine after the motorcycle is fully stopped and the
transmission is in neutral. If the engine stops unexpectedly while the motorcycle is moving, guide the
motorcycle to a safe location off the road and away from traffic.
1. When fully stopped, shift into neutral.
2. Move the engine stop/run switch to the STOP position.
3. Move the ignition switch to the OFF position. Remove the ignition key.
Tip:
A momentary clicking sound from the IAC valve is normal when the key is first turned to the OFF
position.
