CAUTION
When turning off the ignition, verify that the key is
removed in the OFF or FORK LOCK position and that the
lights are not left on. If the rider stops the engine and
inadvertently removes the key in the PARK position, the
battery will be drained of its charge if the vehicle is left
standing too long.
NOTE
The key locks the ignition system and is removable in both
the OFF, FORK LOCK and P (PARK) positions. The PARK
position is located between the OFF and IGNITION positions
and allows the rider to remove the key while leaving the lights
on. When the key is placed in the PARK position, several indi-
cator markers are or can be activated. See the table to the
