Safety
Parking the Motorcycle
When leaving the motorcycle unattended, turn the engine off. Remove the ignition key to
prevent unauthorized use.
Park the motorcycle where people are not likely to touch the hot engine or exhaust system or
place combustible materials near these hot areas. Do not park near a flammable source such
as a kerosene heater or an open flame, where hot components could ignite combustible mate-
rials.
Park the motorcycle on a firm, level surface. Sloped or soft surfaces may not support the
motorcycle. If you must park on a slope or soft surface, follow the precautions outlined on
pages 123-124.
