Supporting the motorcycle

Since this model is not equipped with a
centerstand, use a maintenance stand
when removing the front or rear wheel,
adjusting the chain or washing the ve-
hicle, etc.
Check that the motorcycle is in a stable
and level position before starting any
maintenance.
TIP
If a suitable maintenance stand is not
available, a strong wooden box can be
used instead.
