Reverse System Safety

NOTE: Do not attempt to engage or disengage the reverse system when the motorcycle is moving.
BEFORE operating in reverse
Always sit on the motorcycle with legs astride and both
feet on the ground.
Always check for obstacles or people behind the
motorcycle.
Always retract the sidestand fully.
Always make sure the motorcycle is completely stopped.

Operating The Reverse System

1. Check the area behind and around the motorcycle for
obstacles or people. Be aware that the front wheel
may travel outward and require a larger operating
area.
2. Make sure the motorcycle is stationary.
3. Dismount any passenger.
4. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright
position. Sit in a normal riding position with legs astride
and both feet on the ground.
5. Retract the sidestand.
6. Place the transmission in neutral. Start the engine and
allow it to idle.
7. Lift the reverse lever and verify that the reverse
indicator (R) displays in the Information Display.
8. Recheck the area behind and around the motorcycle
to ensure a clear operating area.
9. While balancing the motorcycle with your legs and feet,
press and hold the START button to begin moving in
reverse. Release the button to stop moving.
10. When completely stopped, move the reverse lever
down to the disengaged position. Verify that the neutral
indicator (N) displays before stopping the engine.
NOTE: The engine will stop if you shift into forward gear
before disengaging the reverse lever.

Reverse Module / Fuse Access

1. Remove left saddlebag.
2. The reverse module and the reverse system fuse are
located on the rear fender debris flap.

NOTE: The starter system will not function with the
reverse module disconnected, or if the 25A fuse is
open (blown). On models equipped with Reverse, the
tachometer signal test (page 19.11) can be performed
at this connector, but the engine must be started
BEFORE disconnecting the harness from the reverse
module.
